Sounds VERY high to me.
A few years ago they were about $300US each new from Merc. My stainless rams
were still good so I rebuilt them myself with kits that were about $50US
each. It was an easy job.

I'm just trying to ascertain the availablity and price of a pair of rams
for
my alpha one sterndrive unit. I've got a price for $600 (Au) australian
each
for reconditioned 2nd hand reconditioned rams. Just wondering what the
cost
would be for these in US (1 au dollar is about 77c US). I maybe better off
importing! I have a mate that has found amazing price differences with
motorbike parts between Australia and US and maybe this may also be the
case
for these rams.
