Re: Vacuum in Head

Maybe this is obvious to others but took me awhile to figure out. The handle on my diverter valves points to the closed position (hose) which is opposite to what I expected.

Re: Winchrite for mast raising and lowering

Hi Glenn,

I have a winchrite for raising the main. I find I get as much torque as with a regular winch handle. If you use a winch and crank by hand now I think the winch rite will work fine

Re: Hydraulic steering issues, air, leaking, valves??

Make sure that the reservoir is full. Turn the wheel lock to lock. The air will usually work its way to the highest point. If not, hold the wheel hard to port or starboard while cracking the...

Re: Reversible DC motor

Aren't DC motors bi-directional by reversing the polarity? My windlass motor has poles for up/down (forward/reverse). Any ideas of power needed?
