Re: replace naiad hose and fitting
Agreed on flushing.
It's actually pretty simple to do you just need the fittings as described in the manual and follow the procedure. Takes about 20 minutes. Trust me from experience, flushing is far simpler than cleaning the orifices which tend to plug when you are offshore and need them.

Hey everyone, thanks for the response to the question.

Re: replace naiad hose and fitting
Probably the feedback unit , last one that I bought was about $475 . Not that hard to replace. Keep everything clean , one bit of grit will ruin the seal . The cylinders can be rebuilt at a hydraulic shop . New cylinders from Naiad are about $950 .
