Since Original manufacturing began in the 1970's the PV125 has had Very Little Modifications.  The most noticable is on the Top of the Lockvalve between the 2 Hydraulic Steering Line Connections, the 2 Relief Ball Port Plugs Changed from Allen Screws to Hex Head & to the 2 Hydraulic Steering Line Connection Ports Themselves ... O-Ring Fitting Adapters were Added for 1/4 NPT Fittings.

Most Common Fluid Leaks are in this General area, the Lockvalve Cracks Mostly because of Improper Overtightening of the Hose Fittings into their Aluminum Block.  For Blocks that use an O-Ring Type Adapter w/ 1/4 NPT Female Ports for Connections to Hose Fittings ... Any signs of a Leak the O-Rings Need Replaced with Removal & Installation as Decribed in the PV125 Manual ... Over tightening of Adapter/Fitting Area to Stop a Leak Cracks the Aluminum.   Both NOT Repairable.  Because of Its Age this Type of Lockvalve it is Not an Industry Standard Hydraulic Part & it is Very Hard to Find a Good Used Replacement.

Following Picture Shows what Appears to be a Very Nice Re-Installation. Due to Overtightening/Fitting Turned In to Far Several attemps to Stop a Leak ended up with a Cracked Valve (Left Side of Left Port over to Edge & Down to the Shuttle Valve Plug).

Final Solution was to Replace Pumpset.  Since a Replacement Lockvalve was NOT Available & To Save the Boater from Buying a NEW Pumpset I Replaced ONLY the Pump Body with One from a Wagner PV100 (Manufactured in the Mid 1980's) ... Works Great :)   Wagner PV100 Pump Body ONLY (Rebuilt, Below, 2nd Picture) Sells For $450.00 in SEA CHEST OF TREASURES ... Retails $1,150.00. Coupling w/Shear Pins, Angle Mounting Bracket & Allen Bolts NOT Included BUT Available, Contact Us Before Purchase.

Ship Your Complete PV125 Pumpset w/attached Box, Working Motor & Tach (Tach ONLY If S50) to Us for Assembly ... Was $575.00 Modified Like New (Below, 3rd Picture)!
