This. Not only did I pay $500 once to a Natvtec guy for a rebuild I was back within a year for a re-do. For which he charged me again. Hydro shop all the way. Its not rocket science. ________________________________ From: CnC-List <[email protected]> on behalf of CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2019 12:43:51 AM To: [email protected] Cc: CHARLES SCHEAFFER Subject: Re: Stus-List Hydraulic backstay adjuster rebuild?
Shawn, FWIW, I got a quote from a Navtec certified rigger to rebuild my Navtec -10 for $800. Instead I took the ram and the remote pump to a local hydraulic shop and they cleaned it, replaced the O-rings and bench tested it to 4000# for 30 minutes. They charged me $30 and I tipped them $20, nine years ago. Still tight, no drips. You have several other options; get a new ram unit w integral pump, replace with a cascade pulley system like many one designs.

I read over this article, and think I will inspect the rod to check for any damage first, as it sounds like that will necessitate a replacement vs. just new seals. With the number of C&Cs in the area, I suspect a local shop will be able to do it. http://rigworks.com/caring-for-your-hydraulic-backstay-adjuster/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Frigworks.com%2Fcaring-for-your-hydraulic-backstay-adjuster%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cbc45427edf244c977fe808d6d8f00835%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636934922767829002&sdata=bEbdNhNEtevnp5LsX5%2FgkhW86AFQxtK2hADSLmgLR44%3D&reserved=0> On Tue, May 14, 2019 at 4:57 PM Brad Crawford < [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Lew Townsend in Seattle might be able to repair that for you.

Hello all, It appears that the backstay adjuster is in need of a rebuild. Although the gauge reads to 2500psi, it struggles to reach 500, and slowly bleeds down. It is marked Hydra Tech Marine, Vancouver, BC. (which appears to be out of business), and looks like this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/DmEJJG4KKXt66bxr5<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fphotos.app.goo.gl%2FDmEJJG4KKXt66bxr5&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cbc45427edf244c977fe808d6d8f00835%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636934922767839007&sdata=v9lD4r8a7jeVH2MLZxXqj4tzKXOd6CMBLQhAPCK1%2FFU%3D&reserved=0> Is this something I can rebuild myself by obtaining seals and o-rings, or should take it to a hydraulic shop? Also, what range should it be set to on a '74 35, with twin forestays/furlers?
