Just came back in from the boat. Earlier in the day I topped off the
resevoir and added some UV tracing fluid. I checked later with the inspection light and found nothing that glowed except the sight glass. Then I started up the port side engine which has the Vickers hydraulic pump on it. Within minutes the fluid level in the sight glass started to drop and the bilge was glowing bright green under the UV light. Inspecting the pump, control head and actuator cylinders showed no trace of leaking. Apparently one of the hoses is rupured in a place where I can't see it. I'm thinking that I should just bite the bullet and replace all of the hoses at this point. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
