[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 468215, member: 13975"] Pulled motor off last night. There were no signs of water intrusion, brushes were clean and springy, armature seemed pretty clean too. There was some hardened stuff in two places on the windings but maybe that is supposed to be there. Aside from that and some 'brake dust' type residue it looked fine. It also ran fine in both directions while off...smooth and quiet, just got hot kinda quick. I'm pretty sure now that the actuator has some issues. I don't see a clean way to break it down though. I'm tempted to just buy a new one and then try to fix this one to keep as a backup or to experiment with on some homemade tilt and trim unit down the road. Kind of a tough decision... I mainly just don't want to mess the actuator up further by trying to fix it. [/QUOTE]
