Default Need help ASAP Please with losing power steering twice now

Hey guys we are experiencing a very weird situation with our power steering pump and we lost the belt once and caught the pump on fire.it's on a 496ho with 120hrs on it..we just got I serviced by prestige marine in lake Havasu city and the boat ran perfect for 2 days and then all of a sudden we see the power steering bottle empty and fluid everywhere..what could possibly cause this any ideas?

did they replace the p/s pump when it caught fire? if not then the heat from the fire probably did a number on the seal...replace the p/s pump and cooler..
