Default Help! Need engine cover motor

Tuesday was not an entirely good day on the water. Three miles offshore, I got an overheat warning on one engine. I tried to raise the engine cover on my Formula 330, but no go. I have solved the overheat problem (raw water hose came loose.) But the engine cover motor is d.e.a.d. Straight connection to power and nothing. Anyone got a line on where to source one? For extra thanks and gratitude, how about one that won't cost me an arm and a leg???

Thanks all!

Checked that by connecting directly to power, nada. Reversed polarity and tried again, goose egg.

Thanks for the referral to go2marine. I'll try them tomorrow.

Appreciate it!

Not sure if they still offer the service but Lenco used to rebuild their actuators.

The one that's in there is the factory motor. I'll ask Lenco about a rebuild. At the prices I'm seeing for the Lenco replacement, I might just buy one and get the original rebuilt as well.

I just bought new one from CP Performance this year. Its much faster than my old one ever was.
There was one in the swap shop about a month ago but it was 2" to short for me. I don't think it sold.
