Changing out Bennett Hydraulic Actuator
Submitted by Mitch88 on Mon, 2016-07-25 07:05
One of my actuator needs changing out.
Is it a straight swap bolt on bolt off or will the system require bleeding?
Anyone changed one out?

If you cant find the info by
If you cant find the info by googling, go onto The Hull Truth and contact Tabman (Tom)
He works for Bennetts and is a legend on there dealing and advising on these.
But I would imagine youd need to bleed but I think its just a matter of cycling them a few times
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Actuator help
Not sure if you are experiencing same problem but one of my Bennett actuators started leaking. I purchased o rings from local boat dealer (Midway Marine) in Rockingham then emailed Tabman Tom through Hulll Truth as mentioned by Rob H. Within 24 hours I had a reply from Tom with instructions on how to fit the o-rings. PM me if this helps as I can email you the instructions.
