Anyone experienced similar? Launched #800 tender per usual procedure. When I retrieved the tender, the davit operated normally with one exception. Immediately upon stopping the hoist, the cable began to slowly pay back out. This repeated during the entire hoist and inboard swing—sure made the evolution exciting. My thinking is I may have rolled a piston seal in the hoist cylinder. No fluid leaks, and the uncommanded payout is slow motion as in commanded speed. Kinda acts like a blown internal seal. I was so glad to the tender aboard and beat Claudette, I forgot to check the controller for a stuck button or pin damage before departing. But it did lift and swing outboard a few hours earlier. Anyone experienced this behavior?
