hey Dennis, we have done a good bit of repair on our hynautic hydraulic steering on our 1984 snowgoose "Grace". We sent our helm unit for rebuild after it leaked fluid badly when bringing her from boston to charleston. If it is hynautic, Capt. Charlie Walker's company can deal with it. His...

hey Chris, ...more and more areas in the coastal USA are becoming "no discharge" zones...we decided to just use a holding tank and make it gravity feed to keep things fairly simple...when legal just leave the thruhull open and the tank is always empty...:D ...just finished hooking up most ...
