Re: Hydraulic Steering Rams

Hydraulic Steering Rams

FYI... If you are having problems with your hydraulic steering rams leaking or not working, don't buy new ones for $500. You can buy a kit for about $45 and rebuild them. We have done that on our PDQ and they work great.

Re: Effective Water

I put in a stainless steel fuel gauge float level sensor in our our aluminum water tank, however I put a piece of shrink wrap tubing on the stainless steel sensor rod and then insulated the end of the rod with a rubber coating.
