1997 Mercruiser Power Steering Pump

I found P/S fluid in the Bilge of my Sundancer powered by a 454. Traced the problem to a small hole in the pressure side of the pump to valve assembly. Changed out the hoses and all is well. I did find the bottom of the pump can is very rusty and may be on the verge of failure. These pumps are standard P/S Vane type components so why does the supply house want $559 for a pump that is so much cheaper at your FLAPS?

Thank You Bondo! Experience holds value so your comment is appreciated. Today I found that the Hot Water Heater is leaking from the coil. I'll be doing everything at one shot so sometimes problems do work to our benefit! Thanks again! Al W.
