Hi Edd,
Suggest you take the pump and ram cylinders to a local hydraulics shop that
works on back hoes, loaders and heavy equip. It probably just needs new
O-rings.
I had a leaking seal on the backstay ram and another on the remote pump and the
repair quote from a Navtec dealer for $750 with many disclaimers. Took it to a
local shop and they did the job for less than $15. Said the O-rings cost them
fifty cents each and there were only a few in each unit. I had them bench
test it to 4000# using their fluid and test gage and we let that sit for half
an hour while I toured their little shop. They have milling machines and drill
presses and lathes and can make any part out of metal. The pressure never
dropped I was satisfied. Don't know why they didn't charge me a minimum labor
fee but they said it was the first sailboat system they had ever seen and asked
me to spread the word. I tipped them $20 for doughnuts and coffee. No
problems for 9 years now.
I would ask around for hydraulic repair shops near you and ask heavy equipment
rental companies, "Who does your hydraulic repairs?"
Don't know who works there now or what they would charge now, but the company
was:
Cam Co, 1310 Havana Ave, Egg Harbor City, NJ 08215, 609-965-3766

Listers,
Anyone know of a good company in the Northeast USA that can repair an old
Octopus hydraulic pump? I’d rather not ship it to Canada.
All the best,
Edd
