    Broken 90 Degree Fitting on 10 Ft Blade

    After getting home from fishing today I took my covers off to rinse my boat down and had the right Blade sag. I noticed fluid
    draining out the bottom of the Blade bracket. After powering it up it started dumping fluid. After looking I notice the fitting broke off at the cylinder. Just trying to figure out if I need a complete new cylinder with fittings or I can get the broken piece out and replace the 90 degree brass compression fitting. Thanks in advance.

    The fitting is $5.88 on the website. You should be able to remove the broken fitting with a screwdriver without damaging the threads in the cylinder. After you get it out make sure to clean out any metal shavings.

    Thanks guys. It worked perfect, broken piece backed out and I flushed it. Scott at Power Pole is sending me a new 90 and fluid in the mail today, so I should be up and running this weekend.
