Guys and Gals, I don't have a dog in this hunt, but this discussion has peaked my curiosity. On the full Montana and largest HC units, does the output side of the hydraulic pumps have high pressure filter units? If not, then this is surely an oversight or design discrepancy. I've worked offshore maintaining and operating subsea ROVs for many years and we would never have any hydraulic circuitry without a filtration system. Valves and other components can and do fail. That is the nature of the beast. Proper filtration however dramatically stops the migration of metal particles of a pump or valve after a total failure. Again - I'm simply curious.
