Boat Crane/Davit

[larman]

Hello All

I have a boat crane/davit system on my boat. It started to leak hydraulic fluid today. I think it might just be a hose. Anyway in looking at the crane there is an hydraulic ram underneath the arm that is bolted top and bottom. I was wondering if I remove the bottom bolt can the free the arm to go up and be able to get the hose. See pics.

Hydraulic ram, you can use controls to move in and out once you remove the bottom bolt. Make sure you can lift the arm and have it supported well.

Hose connections should be on the ram.
