Abstract: A master cylinder having a reservoir and a cylinder formed from a single piece of molded plastic. A sight gauge is molded into a sidewall of the reservoir to permit the level of hydraulic fluid to be checked without removing the reservoir's cap. A vent hole and a replenishing hole permit hydraulic fluid to flow between the reservoir and the cylinder. A baffle is provided to deflect “geysers” that can occur during brake bleeding when hydraulic fluid is forced up through the replenishing port. In the preferred embodiment, the baffle includes an upright portion that is used to retain a float in alignment with the sight gauge.

Abstract: A watercraft lift is disclosed herein having an optional support (10) for anchoring the lift to the floor of a body of water. The support (10) comprises a leg (12) having a first end (14) releasably attached to the load member (48) and second end (18) for anchoring in the floor of a body of water. The second end (18) includes a foot (20) to hold the support (10) in position and prevent further sinking into the floor. The first end (14) is slideably mounted on the load member (48) and fixedly held in place by a pair of elongated bars (36) threadably attached to a plate (16) mounted on the first end (14). The support (10) of the present invention is particularly adaptable for use with portable docks.
