I'm looking for any information I can get on the old Uni-flow Hydraulic  System. The lower helm pump was leaking and my mechanic rebuilt it.  Hasn't been right since. It clicks as the wheel is turned and the  rudder response is sporadic. I've tried to find a replacement pump but  they are discontinued. I'm told the new system is quite a bit different  and would cost thousands to install. Anyone with knowledge of this  system please help.
