alpha one sterndrive hydraulic rams (newby)
 

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.

Here's some for US$120 each:

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.
