A NOT SO GOOD DAY!
Left Stonehaven this morning and as we departed the autopilot died, I figured it was just a fuse and I would sort it at Cid when we arrived.
Lifted the floor to be confronted with 3 litres of bright red hydraulic fluid that had sprayed everywhere at high pressure, what a mess. The power steering pump housing had come loose from its motor 😠. Only took 6 hours to disassemble/repair/reassemble and clean up the mess. Love boats! But not today!Name:  ImageUploadedByTrawler Forum1465635344.217251.jpg
