Attached is a snap I took of the head aboard my 1981 J/30 (hull #199). I cannot find any markings for make or model on it. Can anyone help identify it?

I'm hoping to pick up a refurb kit (or two) for it.

Thanks!
Jonathan

Looks like the original head that came with the boats. Forgot the name, but the company is no longer in business. I went down this road. Trust, me just go new. Rebuild kits are around $75.00. New Jabsco head is only $150- 175 Supper easy to install. The rebuilds are messy and time consuming. Old head out and new head in took just 20 minutes. Good luck.

Pretty sure it's a Wilcox-Crittenden HeadMate.
