I have never taken a hydraulic backstay adjuster apart so have no firsthand
knowledge of whether an adjuster is similar to a tractor hydraulic system or
not. Surely the principle
and expensive piece of hardware.

Back in the day the local hydraulic shop worked on these and autopilot rams for
us at “farmer and bulldozer driver” prices, not boat prices. They are not all

If you're talking about a traditional cylinder/ram style hydraulic
adjuster, a complete leak of all fluid should not result in the loss of the
rig. The rod and piston will simply extend to the maximum and stop. The
piston will be at the top of its travel against the plug in the top of the
Sorry, but I seem to be missing something. My split hydraulic backstays
have leaked in the past, to I initially just set the backstay tension using
the turnbuckle to a light air setting at the dock and put it on my list for
future repairs. Now they're fixed ( and yes, more story on that to
sailing.

I wasted a few boat bucks with a so called Navtec shop in Houston. They
might have scratched the shaft and done more harm. Only lasted 4 years
before it started leaking. When I got it back, I had to pump the handle
several dozen times before it finally started working. The Houston shop

No. They had everything they needed. Considering the volume and the size of the
kind of cylinders they usually deal with, I got the impression that fixing my
‘dinky little cylinder’ was something they could do over lunchtime— especially
since the bore was fine.
While I might be simplifying it
I have a split backstay and dual hydraulic adjusters. I rebuilt both a couple years ago for about $26 in parts. Rebuilding it is nothing to be afraid of. Anything you need can be ordered from Hercules hydraulics through a hydraulics shop if necessary. A manual hydraulic adjuster is a pretty simple
Charlie, that's good to hear. Did you also have to buy the seal kit or did
the hydraulic shop have what you need?
