Just my luck !!!!!

[crazy charlie]

Thought I would do some PM this year before I launch my Boat.Port side trim cylinder on the port engine had some corrosion by the seal and looked to be forcing the seal out of its place a little.Operation and function were fine and it was not leaking at all.Figured I would replace it before it would eventually fail.So I replaced it with an almost new one from a pair I bought.I replaced it a few weeks ago.Noticed yesterday that it was leaking a bit from the seal.JUST MY LUCK !!! I am launching thursday am and not sure if I should put the old one back on or just add some fluid when needed to the leaker.I can get another one but dont think I will have a chance to actually install it before launching.Yesterday was my last chance to get everything together for launch.Preventative maintenance is not supposed to go this way.Charlie

Re: Just my luck !!!!!

The leaker could also suck water back into the cylinder and contaminate the pump also. Go back to your old cylinder, and get some new seals for your "Almost new" cylinder.
