Motor yachts - yachting

Field of expertise

We handle roll stabilizers, steering systems, integrated hydraulic systems, windlasses, cranes, platforms, garage doors, passerelles, and all other hydraulic equipment. We maintain and repair hydraulic rams. We change damaged flexible hoses and defective valves. We also have mobile equipment for filtration to clean hydraulic systems.

Steering Systems

With steering systems, we work more particularly on HyproMarine and Lecomble & Schmitt. We are also familiar with systems developed by BCS, Marsili, Wagner, Seeped, Vets, TRAC, Taskmaster, Steering Power (Sleipner Motors), Teleflex (hydraulics), and SeaStar.

Achievements

The stern thrusters and bow thrusters of a motor yacht of 15 m did not work at their maximum capacity. The pump and the propellers were themselves of homogeneous and coherent size. An additional pump had been added to the system, without any result. Thanks to the measures made in situ, it came to light that flexible hoses and distributors were underdimentioned. We readjusted the pump flow and recalibrated distributors. New flexible hoses of a higher diameter were fitted. The boat has now all the power of its hydraulic pumps to drive its thrusters.
