    Hydraulic Line burst

    My signature series blade had a burst in the blue line. Couple questions.

    1. wondering what size line i need, 1/4" or 5/16" blue line?
    2. do i have to replace the black line also?

    I believe my poles are cm1.

    Triton 19 XS Elite, 225 Mercury Pro XS, Minn Kota Ultrex 112, Hydrowave H2, Twin 8' Power Pole Blades, Power Pole CHARGE, Lowrance HDS 12 and 16 at console, Lowrance HDS 9, Garmin LiveScope at bow, Mercmonitor, Rigid Industries Deck lights and other stuff to come that will make me go more broke

    I have done the retrofit.
    Not too difficult if you have a mechanical sense. Not cheap. Fruit not really worth the squeeze
    Id just replace with new thermoplastic lines and go with it if I had to do it again.
    New lines cut to size and ferrules and you are in business.
    Pay attention to the areas bent most sharply.
