hydraulic

Curious if anyone has installed one of these on their E38? http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|118|107602|298804&id=1029786&cartId=2398456 Am thinking about doing so and am wondering if there are any lessons learned someone might have to share? -david

I have the orig 1989 Navtec hydraulic backstay, works fine. This is the first time I've had one on a boat, didn't even know there was a # pressure gauge on it :confused:. My slip partner said you should use between 2,000 & 2,500# pressure. Also...I recently had my standing rigging...

I have 2 new in box Raymarine type 1 reversing hydraulic autopilot pumpsets. These are good for up to a 10.5 cu.inch ram or for any hydraulic service. I paid full pop for em and my customer decided to go to the internet after confirming his order with me. Nice. If any interest you can PM me...

Anyone on the list capable of giving me guidance on what the appropriate Navtec unit should be? Is a 10 large enough, or should I go with a 12? thanks in advance shaun

Finally finshed. Works great. Time to go sailing and see how it performs. I will follow up with bend shots.

Hello All, I noticed oil at the top of the Navtec hydraulic backstay adjuster today. Its seeping out the seal on the piston/rod where it slides in and out. I assume this is a problem that will only get worse and needs to be addressed. Will this fail suddenly or can it wait a bit? It doesn't...

Looks like mechanical would be cheaper but are they not so great? I am referring to the ones that use a ratchet or winch handle. Seems like they are 200-400 cheaper than the sailtec or navtec which would run me about 1000 for the E 38-200. Thoughts?

I am hoping to get one of these for the boat soon. (E 38-200) Any thoughts on brands? Navtec seems to be the way to go but they are not cheap. Looks like about $1500. Not exactly something I would want to go cheap on but I am always after a bargain... I would have to modify the stern pulpit btu...
