Stus-List Re: Navtec Hydraulic backstay adjuster, soon to be free

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 said

That's a great deal, but mine are 3.5" x 7/16" wide. A guy at our club has found me some in nylon that should work. Not as good as Delrin, but they should do. Acetal/Delrin material is crazy expensive around here... was going to be $90 just for material to make some. -- Shawn Wright

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

On my 1978 26 the handrails were throubolted with a single long bolt from the outside to a nut and washer on the inside. Both inside and outside rails have bungs to allow access to the slotted screw head from the top and the nut on the inside. I managed to hold the inside rail's nut by wedging a

Charlie, that's good to hear. Did you also have to buy the seal kit or did the hydraulic shop have what you need? On Thu, Apr 15, 2021 at 6:06 PM cenelson via CnC-List wrote: > I had mine rebuilt at a local hydraulic shop (lots of farmer implements > use hydraulics) about 8 yrs ago for $260. >

Hello all, I'm getting rid of my Navtec backstay adjuster, it needs a rebuild ($620 from Navtec). I put it on eBay for cheap, but I'm only going to leave the listing up for a month. If it doesn't sell in that time, consider it free to any lister who wants it. My guess is shipping should be about

Thx everyone for chiming in! My apologies I had thought I added my boat model in my signature, mine is a 1974 C 35 Mk2. I would agree with you, it would be extremely unlikely that there was no wood screw used; besides, who would put through holes on the cabin if they did not intend to use screws
