| I have a split backstay and dual hydraulic adjusters. I rebuilt both a couple years ago for about $26 in parts. Rebuilding it is nothing to be afraid of. Anything you need can be ordered from Hercules hydraulics through a hydraulics shop if necessary. A manual hydraulic adjuster is a pretty simple device. What you will find are an O ring or O rings and a seal usually with a sweep on the rod. I have no hydraulic experience or special tools but found it easy to work on. As they say: it’s not rocket science! Safety note: apparently hydraulic boom vangs are spring loaded! Len Mitchell S/V Crazy Legs 1989 C&C 37+ Midland On. |
