I have used an industrial hydraulic shop to replace the seals on Child's Play's Navtec hydraulic backstay, Navtec boom vang as well as the Navtec control panel. The replacement seals used for the hydraulic fluid seem fine. All are functioning fine after between 6 and 2 years since the work was done. The seal on the boom vang that seals the high pressure nitrogen (to hold the boom up) started to fail after 2 years. (as the hydraulic pressure was released and the boom rose the nitrogen would leak and made a loud gurgling noise in the fluid reservoir). I have had the boom vang serviced at Southshore Yachts (navtecservice shop) this past winter and hope to have better result this time around
