Hva denne videoen dekker
The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform a complete overhaul of the vessel's hydraulic steering system to address corroded valves and leaking fittings. Before dismantling the circuit, the crew purges the old hydraulic oil by manually operating the helm while opening the bleed valves at the cylinders.▶ 10:17 To ensure correct reassembly, they label every hose with tape and create detailed sketches of the routing.▶ 11:50 A mobile hydraulic workshop technician inspects the existing hoses and determines they remain in good condition despite their age, as they were protected from UV exposure.▶ 20:04 The technician cuts the hoses at the ends and crimps on new fittings, allowing the owners to reuse the original lines.▶ 19:55 After reinstalling the components, the crew refills the system with fresh hydraulic oil and calibrates the helm to ensure both rudders move in parallel.▶ 23:57 The owner also acquires spare compression-style fittings to enable emergency field repairs while at sea.▶ 21:38
