Noisy power steering in 240D

Well, now that we've saved the old boat from the scrap heap (see: "How long will 240D run at zero oil pressure?"), I've noticed that the power steering pump is somewhat noisy at low RPM. Not cavitating, as I know what that sounds like, and the reservoir is plenty full. More like a scraping, dry bearing type of noise. Goes away at maybe 1500 RPM. Any clues? Has anyone seen a pump through to the end of it's life? These things are plenty expensive, so I'd prefer to just let it run the course, if nothing disastrous happens. Or are they cheaply rebuild-able?
