Hi there, we've got a 1978 wellcraft 30' scarab and the seals leak in both hydraulic rams on the trim tabs. Not sure if they were original equipment fitted from new by Wellcraft or have been upgraded in the 1980's or 1990's. Was hoping somebody out there might recognise the tabs and point us in the right direction. I'm a new member so I've posted photos on our company website as I don't know how to attach them here ! The rams are nicely made in stainless steel. Mounting pins are half inch, cylinder bore looks like 1.5 inch and stroke about 3.7". Latham marine said they are not their tabs but might be old Mercury or Kiekhaefer. Would love to be able to buy new seal kits. Thankshttp://www.eppingmotorcompany.com/st...tocklist-2.htm

I have no idea who made those tabs but you should be able to go to any industrial supply shop that deals with hydraulics and they should be able to match up the O-rings and seals to help you re-build the rams...

Hi wally, main problem here in europe is the manufacturers of seals only seem to have metric these days. I'm hoping somebody will recognise our tabs and rams from the photos, perhaps from their own boat. If i know the original manufacturer I might be able to buy a seal kit or at least get the correct technical specifications for the seals, brett
