    Replying to:Hydraulic Pump Not Working On RL28
    The keel was raised and lowered onto a stop I use to take pressure off the hydraulics. Without warning, my pump did not work to raise the keel enough to remove the stop. I managed to knock the stop out and lower the keel by releasing the pressure using the valve. I still cannot raise it. 1) Any suggestions? (I suspect the pump). 2) If I have to remove it for overhaul, are ther any suggestions or precautions I should take? 3) How do I bleed the system when I replace the pump? 4) Any ideas on raising the keel without the pump? Thanks Malcolm m.k.moir@gmail.com
