Dave Shore asks

Does anyone know the manufacturer of the hydraulic auto helm installed on some B43's? The piston on mine has a leak on the bottom where the mounting pole sits. Looks like the packing or o-ring fell apart.

Yes,

It's an L&S (Lecomble and Schmitt) 40 ST. See:

It's a REALLY nice piece of hardware.

we had this same hydraulic drive on our 2008 B43.

I agree with Jeff Shukis. This is a really nice hydraulic drive. It was extremely reliable and of sturdy construction. Well worth repairing if possible.

Dave you can get the gasket repair kit from PYI in Washington at the website below.
