Smile help needed identifying Scarab trim tabs

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. Thanks http://www.eppingmotorcompany.com/st...tocklist-2.htm

Good luck finding a repair kit. Find a company in your area that services hydraulic repair, hydraulic equipment, parts & supplies, hose couplings & fittings. I found all the internal parts for my older cylinders and didn't know what they were.

thanks RWS, main problem in Europe is that all the seal suppliers now only seem to have metric. I was hoping to find out the manufacturer, if they are still in business if they can't actually supply a seal kit, they may at least be able to give exact specifications.
