    Replying to:Leaking hydraulics
    I have noticed in many RL28 keel ram pictures some device or another to prevent the old gradual dropping of the keel. I am a pretty sophisticated sort of bloke so have used a piece of manky old chain. I was wondering if anyone had actually determined the source of the leak, one of the old connections or pump seals or even the ram itself ? I have had my original keel pump overhauled including new pistons and re-machining the cylinders. I am thinking about motorising the keel raising system ( I seem to be getting lazier as I get older.) and am wondering whether to keep the original pump and add a 12v pump so I still have the option of the manual pump handle, or just replace the whole lot.
