Re: Auto pilot
My '96 28TE is 118 cc or 7.2 cubic inches. It's a Seastar BA125-7ATM 118cc, HC5312
The ram leaks so I'm getting a new one this week, as part of Raymarine autopilot install.

Re: Auto pilot
Hi Don. Few years ago with my C-Dory, I had leak from the outboard engine ram. I was told by Seastar tech that ram leak can result from tiny sharp spot on underside of rod. Sharp spot created from corrosion and non-use in salty environment. Sharp spot makes tiny cut on gland. I was able to fix leak with a rebuild kit and a small file, used carefully.
This time I chose not to try rebuild because with this ram you need to purchase a special tool in addition to the rebuild kit. Also I got a good price on the new ram.
So when boat is stored, periodically rinse ram with fresh water and move steering wheel position. Doug

Re: Auto pilot
If you use crocus cloth to smooth the ram. It should take off small high spots but does not scuff up the shaft.
