I'm hoping the community can help with this one...
We have a Simrad/Robertson HLD2000D hydraulic
linear drive unit on board our
boat. The unit is a two hydraulic ram system driven by a reversing hydraulic
pump. The rams are connected to the
hull via a type of ball joint mount.
The interface between the ball joint and the ram is a small plastic ring. The part number is 21219019. This part is commonly to all previous generation
Simrad drive units like the 2000 or 350 series.
I have contacted
Simrad to try and get a replacement part, but their answer was that they don't make them a anymore and don't stock
parts. Too bad and sorry, but please don't bother us unless you want to buy a new one.
I've tried local dealers and can't find one. I'm at a dead end and am now facing replacement of a perfectly good drive system for the sake of a $2 plastic ring.
The question is, does anyone know of a place to go for hard to find Simrad
parts?
I welcome other suggestions. Thank you in advance.
