I recently purchased a 53 Navigator with Wesmar Stabilizers. We will be taking the boat out late next week weather permitting for an overnighter.
I was onboard for the sea trial but it was so flat that I could not tell if they were working. The captain and surveyor assured me they were.
My questions are, if the conditions don't warrant their use do you turn them off?
Do they(park) themselves in a neutral position?
Anacortes Marine Group did the engine survey and I asked about general maintenance and service. They did not say anything about replacing seals (I asked) and really were more concerned with the hydraulic fluid which was serviced after purchase.
I have been in contact with previous owner and am waiting for service records of engines and major components. Vessel was a single owner boat so should have info dating back to 1995.
