Helm pump is broken. What is it ?
Helm pump is broken/cracked at shaft for steering wheel. When I press on the crack it weeps oil.
I have linked photos of the steering. Hydraulic cylinder/jack at tie rod has Syllen label. Helm pump beneath steering wheel has Syten/Teleflex label. It does NOT have a removable collar cover with three Philips head screws, which is a characteristic of all Seastars. So what is it ?
I can not determine the model of this helm pump.
If you can help me do that, then I can try to find another housing, seals, etc. to repair this one. Maybe I can find a used one and put a new seal kit in it. I don't know. But I would like to avoid springing for the big bucks if instead I can find a way to repair this one.
If someone can help me ID this thing, then maybe I've got a fighting chance.
Have searched Teleflex site. No info.
