The manual may state that but do you need that pressure? our systems are the same, its only the cubic foot of the pumps that are different. . I don't need that pressure for the system to operate correctly. do you have power steering?

Re: Hynautic Steering - Need Advice
I guess I'm not sure. There's a 20-year-old embossed label on the bulkhead next to he cylinder that reads "30psi." Previous owner said he kept it at 40 because that was the only way to get the upper helm to stop weeping. When we found the excessive leakage today I went down to depressurize the system and it was about 20, which to me reads as "as pressure falls, leakage rises."

Re: Hynautic Steering - Need Advice
I think mine just reached a state of happy equilibrium and I'd rather not fix it if it isn't truly broke. That said I wasn't confident enough to rebuild mine, I purchased new. My understanding is they are pretty complex and cannot tolerate any dirt of any size internally.

Re: Hynautic Steering - Need Advice
When I repowered a few years ago I used this guy to rebuilt both helms and ram. Reasonable, about a week turnaround. Wasn’t worth trying to do it myself. Others here have used them too

Re: Hynautic Steering - Need Advice
Some Information that might help. The top O-ring replacement is fairly straight forward. Do Not take the unit completely apart.

Re: Hynautic Steering - Need Advice
Lots of issues in failed rebuilds of helms and rams is from damaged shafts not being perfectly smooth.
