Eroded Trim Ram Seals Cause Issues

It was Rama Lama Ding Dong at Titchmarsh Marina in Walton On The Naze today.
A Bavaria Motor Cruiser with twin Volvo Penta D3 engines had serious
damage to the DPS drive caused by eroded trim ram seals, this in turn had caused the hydraulic ram to do a very accurate impression of a water pistol, not at all how you want your ram to behave.
The drive once in reverse had also damaged the vessels bathing platform. Ouch!
A new ram and hydraulic flush should cheer it up. The customer also requested a full service of the anodes and a galvanic isolation system to be fitted.
