Mantis is in need of a serious rebuild. The lack of dependable selfrighter is murder.

Also, the hydraulics didn't pan out. We kept on having an air problem, the seals on the rams keep oil in perfectly, but allow air into the system when lowering on gravity. This leads to cavitation in the pump. Very ungood.
And to top the problem off, the tripple speed 900/pump idea failed.

Plan for now is to rebuild the rams, a new motor for the pump and making the whole machine a tad more compact, with adding a selfrighter.
