Good evening, my original ttabs short actuators A1200S are leaking and I like to do a replacement , they are the ones with the old electrical wires and old display, what would be the best recommendation for a modern replacement keeping the metal tabs ?
 
If they are that old, what kind of display are you referring to? The wiring harness was pretty standard, and accommodates a variety of the switches, with no display. You could fill in the pieces however you want.
I'm in the KISS school with tabs, no indicators, auto retract or displays.

I would offer $40 for the first one in the link I posted, and accept whatever he counter-offered. He has another used one, but it still has the label on it, so maybe not too old. Looks to be the same 9 inch measurement. Offer $60 for both, and go boating. Or, you can replace the top cap and seal for about $30 a side. They just screw off and on.
If you are just looking to upgrade, you have choices out there.
 
It likely just needs a new o-ring... assuming you are talking about it leaking at the actuator?

Otherwise, go right to the source (Bennett) and call them and see what kind of upgrades you do.
