[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 467322, member: 13975"] Is anyone familiar with these? I have one that came with the purchase of an outboard. It works but the previous owner said that the switch shorted out in the up position a few times when left in the rain and it ran continuously until it killed the battery. Obviously can't be good for it but like I said it does still work but is slow and sounds off. I read on the manufacturers website to grease the actuator with no more than 4 pumps of grease at a time but haven't tried that yet. That's about all they say. I'd say if it still works the motor is fine but I don't see an actuator sold by itself - they are all a motor/actuator combo and are $300. I don't have to get it perfect but would like to improve it as I'd like to be able to offer it for sale or trade. [/QUOTE]
