• Hydraulics:
- The hydraulics were serviced Oct/Nov 2017 by a local company called Hyflo.
- The system is designed by Greg Waters from Central Coast Hydraulics system.
- The majority of the yacht and sailing functions are all Hydraulic.
- Only a single pit winch and the runner winches are not Hydraulic along with the main and jib cunninghams.
- The Hydraulics are powered off the main engine with a PLC system to control engine RPMs while sailing and 7tilizing the Hydraulics.
- The yacht has a lifting prop systems that is synced with the PLC to not enable cross functioning of throttle and hydraulics at the same time.
- The yacht also has a drop wheel system for dropping the spinnakers.
- The drop wheel is powered off the Hydraulic motor for the pit winch.
- Yacht able to drop an A4 in 2.5-3.5 seconds with the system.
All the winches (except the small pit winch) are now hydraulic. I added a new manifold to power the runner winches.
