- 1987 senator 35 sundeck
I recently purchased my first trawler. a 1986 chien hwa sundeck. plenty of projects to do but first was a new mattress for the island bed.
after pitching the old mattress I decided to explore the steering/water tanks etc under the bed.
I found a bicycle pump . that got me wondering, next I saw a canister with a pressure guage and a valve( similar to a bicycle tire) the guage reads form 0-60 lbs and is currently sitting at 20. the engine has not run in a couple of days so I guess that pressure is holding steady at 20. good news , I guess there are no leaks. my questions are....will the pressure go up if the engine is running ? what should the pressure be ? what is the tire pump for ?
HELP !
