    Powerpoles open up in storage?

    Hi all

    Had this issue since I bought the boat...powerpoles are opening up slightly in between usage

    Sent both pumps back and sent one cylinder back..no loss of oil or leaks found

    Wondering if humidity effects them in a way that would make them lose pressure keeping them secure? Also, guy I know said he had a similar issue where his would open all the way up and it was moisture in one of his boat mounted switches?

    Guess next thing to try would be to buy new switches? Any help is appreciated

    Mine open about two inches. However I have a cut off switch so nothing is getting any power during storage so I doubt moisture is the problem.

    Mine did the same thing. Bleed the lines !!! Worked for me. Hope it works out for you too. I don't understand how air get in, it's a mystery to me. No signs of leaking.

    My blades do NOT do this. As mentioned, bleed the lines.
