Re: Stus-List Navtec Backstay Adjuster

I have used an industrial hydraulic shop to replace the seals on Child's
Play's Navtec hydraulic backstay,  Navtec boom vang as well as the Navtec
control panel.
The replacement seals used for the hydraulic fluid seem fine. All are
functioning fine after between 6 and 2 years since the work was done.
The seal on the boom vang that seals the high pressure nitrogen (to hold
the boom up) started to fail after 2 years. (as the hydraulic pressure was
released and the boom rose the nitrogen would leak and made a loud gurgling
noise in the fluid reservoir).
I have had the boom vang serviced at Southshore Yachts (navtecservice shop)
this past winter and hope to have better result this time around

Find a truck repair hydraulic shop.  "Yacht Shoppes" charge 5x and in some 
cases do crappy work to boot.   I spent $1000 on a $100 figuring that out.

Sorry to rehash the same questions, but I've also been off list for a while.


Can anyone recommend a shop in Toronto or SW Ontario who can refurbish my 
hydraulic backstay adjuster?


Thanks

Hi

Last week I dropped off two integrated Navtec hydraulics to a small shop in 
Scarbourgh near the Rigging Shoppe. He suggested two weeks. I am in Elliot Lake 
not at home in Oakville. I will try find the info from here

I took mine apart as best I could to see if I could find wear and tear.
The one thing I noticed was that the hydraulic fluid was very very low.
I emptied what I could. I have the instruction for bleeding the system and did 
this and then refilled according to the instructions. I put some tension on it 
left for a few days then topped up again with fluid.
I took it to the workshop at the yacht club where we sail and we think we got 
about 2,500 pounds of pressure on the system and the piston did not move at all 
over 48 hours. Apparently the hydraulic fluid heats in the black casing and 
vaporizes which can leak around the seals.
You may want to try this first.
