HYDRAULIC STEERING
Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2008 5:19 pm
SIOUX has a HYNAUTIC steering system. I wonder if any one else has this system? It has worked very well over the years. I have an autopilot connected, and of course, another helm station on the flybridge. This year, for some unkown reason, the air pressure tank [needed to keep hydraulic fluid in the line] has developed a slow leak. The system needs a minimum of 20 PSI to do its job. We have put diapers under all the hydraulic fluid connection points and are reasonably certain there is not a fluid leak. Today, I used a child's blowing bubble liquid, with a brush, after having pumped up the system to 40PSI. Not one bubble appeared.
Anyone got any thoughts what to try next?
