    Raptor pump noises

    Has anyone experienced excessive noise when the pole is fully retracted or deployed? The normal hydraulic sound when deploying or retracting sounds fine but when it gets to max in either direction the pumps sounds horrific. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

    Also before anyone asks -
    I bled the lines properly and reservoirs are right in-between max and min.

    Hello, when retracting or deploying are the up/down buttons being held once the Raptor is fully retracted or fully deployed? If the button is being held and it is not released the noise is normal and designed to protect the assembly. It will not damage anything, but if the button is being held when the Raptor is fully retracted or deployed you will hear this noise because the fluid is moving quickly through a small orifice.
    Single press to auto retract the anchor. Press and holdto continually retract the anchor. The anchor will continueto retract when the button is held until the button isreleased
    Double press to auto deploy the anchor. Double pressand hold the second press to continually deploy theanchor.

    Agree with post above. It is a little bit noisy, but I am not alarmed about.
