    CAT 3116 maint. videos.... Anyone convert them?

    I should also note that a portion of the donations will go to buy Frank Webster a gift for helping all of us CAT guys over the years. Something really Yankee, because he likes the northeast so much.

    450DA TNT hydraulic swim platform issues-$1,700 later!

    Welcome to Goliath hell. What looks like happened is when a hose went on one side, the other side went up and then binded the whole system. I find sometimes engaging the lift to go back down and then bounce a little on the side that's up until it lets go. Be prepared for the drop when it does...

    there's little pumps next to the filters. you have to unscrew the pump head and then pump fuel into the filter until it's full.

    TNT Hydraulic swim platform on my 450 Dancer

    Yes, lots of headaches. But the lift is like 20 years old, I'm kind of surprised mine is still on the back of the boat. I'm sure he's heard lots of stories... heck, even someone in this thread left his wife over this lift.

    Failed port side fuel gauge on my 450DA

    I would say he missed a lot of things. It might be worth hiring another to go through the boat to find everything that's not working so you know what to tackle.

    TNT Hydraulic swim platform on my 450 Dancer

    Yes, as the lift gets older and the pully system loses it's "spring", the lift will eat the 4 long hoses. This is something you're going to have to keep an eye on... for the rest of it's life. I took off the end caps to the telescoping arms so I can watch the hoses feed back into the transom. I...

    TNT Hydraulic swim platform on my 450 Dancer

    not entirely true. I bought rebuild kits from them, not expensive at all, that was for all 6 cylinders, I think it was $160. They can custom make new ones if they aren't rebuildable, I was quoted $800 for each one, not $2k. The cost is in the stainless steel, like anything else. $1000 for 12...

    TNT Hydraulic swim platform on my 450 Dancer

    The overall cost for hoses will vary depending on which ones you get. The short little hoses on the outside of the lift connecting to the cylinders... 12 SS hoses about $1k. The 4 long SS hoses about $700. The hoses from the pump to the transom in the ER, about $200 because I went with rubber...
