    PP leaks

    has anyone had a ram cylinder leaking at the end cap? mine leaves very small puddles in garage but hoses are bone dry and no leaks seen while running it up and down on garage floor either. just seems to leak at rest? boat has been used 6-8 times at most

    was bone dry cycled it up down many times and no dampness at all anywhere- leaks while sitting not under load it seems (bottom of cylinder when in up position) was very wet as was bolts and washers through this end cap

    i did snug the line up but was plenty tight and the elbows will be badly mis-aligned if I try to tighten them up also
