John,

If there isn't one in Sarnia, a friend has one in hamiton that has done a few 
navtec cylinders. Also South Shore Yachts is an authorized Navtec shop. They 
are just outside of Niagara on the Lake, in Virgil.

Hey John
Try At-Tec hydraulics on Plank road in Sarnia, and there are some more 
hydraulic shops around. Every o-ring imaginable is available locally and I 
can't imagine it would be more than $10 or$15 for the parts to rebuild it plus 
an hour or so of their time.

Lew Townsend did repairs for me several years ago.  He did a great job, and
I have had no problems since.  Talk with him on the phone, and he'll give
you good advice, and his p;rices are reasonable.  He's located in Seattle.

Check with Lew Townsend +12064987282.   He's an authorized Navtec service
tech.   He did mine last year.  I also needed some new hoses which he made.

I had mine rebuilt twice in two years, the second time seems to have worked 
(for a year anyway).  But if it goes again I'm just going to get a short piece 
of stay and a turnbuckle.  As a non-racing type (usually) I do not adjust the 
backstay anyway (usually).

You might try Southshore yachts, but with the age of the unit they may not want 
to touch it.  I used a local hydraulics shop, the seals are generic stuff so 
they can do it - just make sure they replace all the seals, my first experience 
was that they only replaced what had obviously gone - but all the seals are the 
same age so another went shortly after the first rebuild.

I was out today and notic3d the fore stay kept sagging. I would pump the 
adjuster to tension it and in a few minutes it would release.

I suspect this is original equipment on a 30 year old boat.

I am wondering if others with this vintage boat have experienced this and if 
there is a fix?

I am in Sarnia Ontario. Are there any repair depots in Ontario I can talk to?

If you replaced the adjuster, what did you buy?

Has anyone tried to replace with a couple of Harken blocks?

As always, thanks for any response.

The piston seals likely need replaced. Take it to a local hydraulic shop to be 
'rebuilt' for a few boat bucks and reinstall for another 30 yrs.

My 33 MK II has a Navtec Model IA 7 - 10 back stay adjuster.
I was out today and notic3d the fore stay kept sagging. I would pump the 
adjuster to tension it and in a few minutes it would release.
I suspect this is original equipment on a 30 year old boat. 
I am wondering if others with this vintage boat have experienced this and if 
there is a fix?
I am in Sarnia Ontario. Are there any repair depots in Ontario I can talk to?
If you replaced the adjuster, what did you buy?
Has anyone tried to replace with a couple of Harken blocks? 
As always, thanks for any response.
