Shawn, FWIW, I got a quote from a Navtec certified rigger to rebuild my Navtec -10 for $800. Instead I took the ram and the remote pump to a local hydraulic shop and they cleaned it, replaced the O-rings and bench tested it to 4000# for 30 minutes. They charged me $30 and I tipped them $20, nine years ago. Still tight, no drips.
You have several other options; get a new ram unit w integral pump, replace with a cascade pulley system like many one designs.
