I have seen several posts about leaking rams on the TAPS system. I have the single ram and just noticed oil gathering on the plate. There are 3 screws attaching it to the back of the boat. I can't find instructions on how to remove the ram and do a seal replacement kit. Do I see it is Bennett out of Florida that sells the seal kit? I have a tendency to make bad situations worse when I just start tearing things apart. Thanks for any thoughts!

The Bennett Actuators comment helped. For others who may be struggling, here is what I found.
https://bennetttrimtabs.com/ is the site. They were very helpful!
The part numbers for my 2013 R20 with the single ram are (warning! I have not ordered or installed yet to validate):Finally, here is a nice video on the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lItp77P34mw&t=525sQTY BENNETT MARINE INC PART # YAMAHA P# UNIT OF MEASURE DESCRIPTION 1 A1120 6BT- 50086-60 -00 EA Catalog # for ACTUATOR UH O-RING(-224) 1 A1121 6BT- 50086-61 -00 EA Catalog # for ACT PISTON O-RING(-220)
I think I have what I need to tackle the process!! Wish me luck! I have all winter to get it done, but likely, I'll wait until the weekend before I'm ready for my first run next spring! Haha.
