For the 2nd time in its 30 yr life, I left my Navtec cylinder with the local
hydraulic shop for a rebuild.
Unfortunately it’s so old that complete rebuild kits are not available but he
is replacing what he can with what is available re seals, etc.
Since it is basically a manual pump and assuming no scoring or other damage to
the metal parts, I think that any disposable parts are either seals or
‘0-rings’ which are likely available in the appropriate sizes and diameters
individually from McMaster-Carr.
My thought is to tell him to source the individual items and build a rebuild
kit himself.
OTOH, I have never seen the inside of any hydraulic pump!
Am I oversimplifying this or is the hydraulic shop just doing the ‘rebuild’
with what parts of the rebuild are easily and relatively cheaply available to
keep the rebuild simple without disassembling and sourcing the parts that would
likely be part of a complete rebuild kit?

Just go to a local hydraulic shop. Sorry as a Navtech “technician” ripped me
off for two “re-builds” in two years at $500 an incompetent rebuild.
Construction guys don’t tolerate that crap. $100 once and done. It is just
a pump.

backstay
I also like Lew, whom I contacted based on recommendations from this list.
That said, he’s not from NJ (far from it), and shipping cost almost as much as
the work. Also, the rebuild work I had done was prophylactic, and my unit now
has a very minor leak that it didn’t have before. I’m sure he’d fix it if I
sent it back. Bottom line: as much as I like Lew, I suggest finding someone
local.

Second Lew Townsend. He rebuilt mine after another Navtec rebuilder botched
it. Excellent to work with.

Lew Townsend did all my Navtec hydraulic repairs. Don't know whether he does
Sailtec, but you can call him at (206) 498-7282. He does quality work. Others
on the list have also used him.

Good morning All,
Septima has moved from Hampton Roads, VA to Bayville, NJ. Upon arrival we
noticed that the hydraulic cylinders for the backstay were leaking. Does anyone
have recommendations on a reputable service to rebuild them in the NJ area?
They are Sailtec branded. However, the marina we are in refuses to do business
with them based on previous bad experiences. Love to support local businesses
but also want a quality job. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks and have a great weekend,
