Charlie,
Just where in the sticks are you? Heck, I'm in Hertford and I thought we were
in the sticks (Pine groves really).

Subject: Re: Stus-List Navtec pump service
I may live so far out "...in the sticks..." in Eastern NC that "...we have to
import the sticks 😄..." but we have many hydraulic shops, mostly because we
have a lot of farm and logging equipment in use.
I had my Navtec unit (after about 15 yrs in use) seals replaced, cylinders
smoothed/rebored?, etc. for about $300 at one of these a few years ago.
Compared to the size and complexity of most equipment these shops deal with, my
Navtec unit was a piece of cake, especially to the "...good old boys..." who
are used to more complexity and quicker turn-arounds. (If you have contracted
with an equipment lessor to get your crop planted, fertilized, harvested, etc.
during a certain time interval, you or they cannot afford to wait for a 2-3
week repair time!)
With appreciation to those "actual rocket scientists" on the list, this
repair/rebuild does not even approach rocket science. It's a hydraulic cylinder
for Heavens sake! The fact that it is used on a sailboat may inflate the repair
cost (if it is repaired by a rigging shop) but at the end of the day it is a
simple hydraulic cylinder.

Thank you Robbie.
I got a suggestion from Francois Rivard to try Zern Rigging in Pensacola. I
will let you know how it goes - Rick Zern will be closer for you as well!

I had my Navtec pump and back stay cylinder rebuilt at Florida Rigging in
St Petersburg a couple of years ago. I live in Fort Walton and couldn't find
anyone close by to do it. They were easy to work with, and did a great job.
