Re: Boat Yard Recommendations-Balt to Annapolis

Nicholson,
The issue, unfortunately, is not new. That’s the reason I purchased the new hydraulics, in the first place. Thought maybe that was the failure issue. However, it still fails, which is why...

3 way valve needed

Has anyone seen a valve like this? Need to replace due to breakage. Only has a patent number on it. No other means of identification.

Thanks for any input
