Can't Find AP Pump Repair Kit for HRP11-12

I'm trying to find a retailer that sells the repair/seal kit for my Furuno AP pump but I can't find it online anywhere. Kobelt purchased AccuSteer who manufactured the HRP 11-12 pump I have for my 711c system.
The part number is AccuSteer/Kobelt Repair Kit 600-071-RK.
BTW - the Simrad RPU80 pump looks similar and the seal kit is available online but I'm not sure if the manifold and pump housing are interchangeable between these pump units.
Any leads on where to buy this Accusteer kit online would be appreciated - either that or confirmation that the Simrad seal kit would work.
Thanks
 
A dealer should be able to order the kit from Kobelt. I have no experience with the Simrad pumps but I don't think they had any association with AccuSteer so I doubt they would be the same kit.
 
I called the dealer - they can't get the repair kit. The dealer called Furuno - they don't have the kit and told us to try a Kobelt partner. I tried that already - no luck. I will call Kobelt directly today but the fact that these repair kits are impossible to find makes me think that seal failures are not common. And if that's the case, maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here and need to do a lot more troubleshooting somehow.
 
Hoses can cause weakness too. When pushed they can expand and the rudder not move as expected resulting in issues. It could be many things. You could always send you Furuno pilot in for testing but the pump output on these normally work or not (no between). I would expect the hoses or pump to behind the weakness.
 
Thanks again Johnny.
The entire steering system was replaced on the boat in 2016 when I repowered. All new hoses, helm, steering ram, etc. I did all the work and the steering system is solid with no leaks and all hoses are in very good condition.
I guess I need to try to recreate the drive unit failure event and then check the pump to see if it's extremely hot. If so then either the seals are going bad or the motor / brushes are failing. Someone also mentioned that I could have a check valve in the helm that isn't working right but again, the helm is relatively new.
Aside from that, I'll run through the dockside setup and rudder calibration steps again to make sure that all works OK.
