This gadget sells for $950, and the Reverso for $1400.
What is so marvelous about these devices that we should pay the price of a new mainsail for one?
What does the FilterBoss consist of besides 2 filters and 2 bypass valces?

,,,and a built in pump for bleeding and polishing. and it is all pre-assempled and mounted on a board for easy install. If you can do it yourself, you can save a bunch but if you were paying a mechanic to assemble it, my guess is that the labor + parts would get you close to that price.
