Rudder alignment frequency is a function of two things..1. How much the rams are leaking and 2. How often you turn the rudders.

I have a spare injector pump, tested and certified by Everglades Diesel Service that is available at a substantial savings. It is a long and financially painful story but I replaced this unit with a new one when it was totally unnecessary. New units are close to $5000 and I am asking $1499 for this ...
