Drive-stbd Tvm: low hydrolic oil level

[altour]

Hi can you share me what seal or part did they changed in your pod drive? I'm having same issue same as you experienced

Thanks for the reply, it’s scheduled to go into the dealer tomorrow. Their thoughts are that the power steering actuator seal has failed. Seems to be not that uncommon, I have 3rd gen pods (JH). This will involve hauling the boat out, removing the lower pod and maybe a little more. I’m having them do both sides as a precaution in hopes that it keeps me on the water and out of the shop. I’ll let you know after they dig in.

Please hope you have picture what did they changed in your pod drive I'm having same issue with your pod

had one of my power steering actuator seals fail and needed to be replaced. hard to tell from your picture but it looks like fluid has come out of the top of the monitor? if so that would be my first guess. if you replace one, do yourself a favor and replace both. i also had all of my hydraulic lines and rings change as a precaution.
