This! When I needed autopilot cylinders fixed and hoses made, I looked up "hydraulics" in the yellow pages, NOT "marine autopilot hydraulic hose maker". Joe Coquina

I use Lew Townsend in Seattle for my hydraulic repairs. You may not want to send your unit to him, but if you call him, he can advise you. His number is: 206-935-4678.

It holds fine when I'm onboard and sailing, it seems to happen overnight, when the boat is on the mooring. The adjuster is an old Navtec IA-10 unit. There is no noticeable fluid leaking from either end of the adjuster and the piston is in good shape with no nicks or scratches. Can anyone suggest a rigger/hydraulic repair shop in the NYC area that could handle rebuilding it? Or is the unit so old that I should consider replacing it with a new hydraulic adjuster or some sort of cascading block contraption? The boat is primarily raced around the buoys, so being able to reproduce settings quickly and accurately is the most important feature for me.
