I have a 353 with a lenco hatch lift. It is like new but the little electric motor is burnt out on it. I tried rebuilding the motor but its junk I grind down the cap welds and got it open but the brushes are to gone. The brushes are also impossible to match up or get. It looks like an aftermarket motor. It almost looks like the size of an RC electric motor. Lenco wont sell me the motor, they will only sell the whole set up. Does anyone know where I can get a new motor??

Its probably a windsheild wiper motor. I would check NAPA

Lol Yup I checked their to. Nothing
Thanks for the idea tho

How about a local electric outlet or shop. I went to an electric supplier and got brushes and motor parts for an electric wheel chair for a friend of mine. The builder wanted unrealistic prices for the whole thing and would not sell pieces parts but a good electrical business can either make it or will get it.
Good luck.

I'm guessing you're talking about the actuator motor for the sun deck, mine the motor is working fine, but the actuator (ram) is grinding like crazy, it sounds terrible.

I took the whole thing off which is a bear and had a motor re-building company look at mine and he said my motor was OK, that the ram gears were going out and I'm finding out the we might have to buy the whole set-up which is going to be big bucks.

I can't find the actuator (ram) seperate either.

Any ideas.

Ya mine is just the little motor I need. I called lenco and they won't sell any parts just the whole assembly. Did u try the manufacture? What make is it?

I have a ram gear set that is messed up too. I just discovered it and haven't looked for parts yet so if you find out parts info please post it up. I have about three projects and vacation traveling before I can get to the research but if I find something before you do I'll put it up here too.

i have a good motor your welcome to it

Mine is still working, it just sounds like crap and I'm sure it's eventually going to go out, I havn't been back inside the bilge since I read this thread and posted my response, I'll be getting in the boat this weekend, I'll make sure to look and see what my actuator says on it.

I'll put any I find about it up here so as to help anyone else, if anyone has any info on the actuators I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, in advance.

Im still waiting on that one i bought. Ups wont talk to me so im waitng on the guy i bought it from to contact them. Ill know soon if its lost or not. LOL if its lost im swinging by to grab the one u have.
thanks
