Replacement hatch actuator recommendation?

[andybellus]

Hey guys hoping some of you can offer up some advice for a replacement hatch actuator for my 260ss.

Been flakey at best since I bought the boat, pulled it apart and "tuned up" the brushes and armature and that worked great for last couple years but it's crapping out again.

What/where have you purchased when looking to replace the OE actuator? Would like something that can replace the original with little to no modifications to keep it simple....

Andy,

You would need to purchase the hatch ram listed below. I believe you can purchase it directly from Motion Systems.

HATCH RAM 12" 90 DEG 10:1REV A

I have a new Lenco Hatch Lift, 20x53 500lb capacity that I bought for my 350 SS, but decided to remove after installation because it did not lift as quickly as the Motion Systems unit. If interested, pm me for more details.

Don't know if yours has Acculift original, but if it does, you can get them from the below place. I replaced mine from them last spring, easy to deal with and very helpful.
