Note to self....next time the autopilot won't move the rudder in one direction and shows an over current fault.....
MAKE SURE THE SHUT OFF VALVES ARE OPEN on the hyd lines gloing to the pump. :oops:
Duh!
Sometimes it's an easy solution. :D

By accident one got closed, probably when I put my electrical "stuff" box away. I need to make a protector somehow so it doesn't happen again.

I have a fuel valve like that...every time I work on the generator I manage to catch it and close it. Now I know to double check it, but for a while it was a problem.
