How to service Vetus hydraulic rams
Learn how to service vetus hydraulic steering frames in this video.
These Vetus rams are at least 30 years old. They are super heavy but apart from that they are still functioning perfectly. Of course we would like newer rams (actually Shayne wants cable steering) but these old beauties just need a service and new seals and they’ll be ready to rock again.
There are a few tricks to these rams and Shayne trained as a diesel fitter before his career as a composites guy in the marine industry.
In this video he walks us through the process of pulling apart and replacing the seals and cleaning up our old Vetus hydraulic rams.
Lots of tips if you want to tackle this project yourself.
