LEAKING HYDRAULIC HOSE?

[TJOSEPH869]

hELLO,<br />RECENTLY I HAD FOUND A MILKY LIQUID DOWN IN THE BILGE OF THE BOAT I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING. I CANNOT REALLY ACCESS WHERE THEY CONNECT TO BENEATH THE MOTOR IS THERE ANYONE WHO HAS FIXED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. IS IT A BAD IDEA TO CUT THE HOSE AND REPLACE THE LEAKING PART WITH A BACK TO BACK HOSE BARBS AND CLAMPS? HOW MANY PSI IS BUILT UP BY THE PUMP?<br /><br />THANKS IN ADVANCE <br />JOE NY

Same answers as before, can't splice, high pressure line, tough job for non-pros.<br /><br />You really should take it to a shop.
