This was a great issue team, really appreciate the info on the hydraulics buddy, especially the bypass valve, and the redundancy of the crimping system. Cheers Ross ⛵

You two are doing a great job! Getting so close. Good planning on the hydraulics will make your system very reliable and carrying spares is critical. You definitely have things well planned. Best wishes.

My Mercedes SL500 has a hydraulic suspension that runs at 2,000 psi. I use those same compression fittings to repair my hoses when the blow. The car is 16 years old, so they blow often. Those fitting are rated for 10,000 psi. They will never fail.

I have two Vetus MTC72 rams on my cat. They need replacing every couple of years as the shaft gets damaged by salty water. The track rod ends that Vetus ship also rust to buggery, though they do sell a SS one at a crazy price. A Vetus rep recently told me that these rams are no supposed to be mounted externally, and that if it must be mounted externally then a gaiter should be used to protect it.

Parabéns grande mestre você é o cara

Ricky you’re a great worker and have a magnificent skill knowledge of a lot of trades. I take my hat of to you mate. You also have a fantastic partner in Simone who’s always there helping assist you 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛵️

Thanks guys appreciate the video and the time and effort that goes into this aswell as restoring a boat 🤯 👏 i have restored two boats a hunter 701 at 23 feet and a jeanneau sunlight at 30 feet. The last finishing touches end up taking the longest as these are usually the bits you see or use on a dailly basis. Remember on my small 701 she had no rigging as it had been stripped to replace by the previous owner who didnt get round to it! The stainless rigging wasn't the main issue but once we got the mast up it was taking the time to sail her and work out were the deck hardware would go like blocks and pulleys.

Sometimes us guys have to just sit there and look at it for a while it might take 20 minutes might take an hour and then everything flows together and we get it figured out

Looking good guys, I see only a few post-it notes left on the wall there.

Sooooo true, Keeps you humble , Lol Mine does it so well !

UV on nylon pipes will be issue maybe you can place inside stainless braiding heat shrink ends

Always amazing! It's so new to me! After its all installed and all, will you use something to protect the hydraulics from the UV rays and saltwater environment? You have always been very meticulous about every single thing on the boat, high quality and well built etc, I am just curious what you will do to ensure that the steering systems last a long time. Thank you for explaining the bypass system, I have a better picture of how it works. Again, job very well done! many thumbs up!

Hi there. Nice steering mount you've build..!!.. But my advice for the hydrolic (copper) steering pump and the plastic hoses is, please cover them.!!, salt sea water and sun wil be so nasty on them..so they wear out very fast. My sugestion is, to make an L shaped cover (fiber and epoxy,) to put over the stearing pump and hoses.. succes and Greetz.NL

How much have you spent on the refit so far?

It was a accumilation of antibiotics for his knee (makes him grumpy) & the fact that we had to wait for our mppt controlers and color control. :P

Hi guys. Just wondering if you're fitting two rams or is there a linkage between the rudders?. What specs were you going on that made you go for that particular pump and cylinder combo? Lastly, is not having a non return valve a bad thing? Some feedback from the rudders may be good I'm thinking. As always it is great to see your fantastic progress. Cheers

Ricky was pissed because you wouldn't let him take a sticky off the wall. 😂😂😂 Question, since you are using hydraulics on the boat, is a hydraulic windless more efficient/practical? What type of windless do you have?

Hi Clay , if we had an hydraulic power pack then it would be , typicaly only used on much larger vessels
