89 Scarab - help with a "Warner" engine hatch lift
 

Hey guys,

Just looking for some help with this hatch lift.

The Boat is an 89 Scarab Excel 21 and I assume this is an original part.

When the unit is out of the boat the motor works fine when fired on a battery but the whole pole spins? When in the boat it wants to work but seems to bind.

I guess my question is how does this thing work? Is it a screw type? I took everything apart and lubed everything but the same problem is there.

I need to look at it again but Im just wondering if it is possible to access the screw part to clean it up and relube it?


Thanks for the help.

Hey Guys,

Never mind, I managed to get the tube off of the worm gear.

I cleaned all the old gunky grease off with gasoline and re-oiled it. Runs like a top now !

I had the same problem. Got rid of the reverse polarity switch and put a recoil two way rocker swtich. Mounted a reverse polarity solenoid in the bilge. Works like a champ now.
