Built around a clutchless ball screw design, the actuator never binds and runs in sync when two units are installed on a dual-lift application, making it a reliable choice for wider or heavier hatches that need coordinated lifting on both sides. The inline motor delivers over 500 pounds of force, giving it the strength to handle substantial hatch weight while maintaining precise positioning at any point in the stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is entirely non-corrosive: the ram tubing is clear anodized aluminum, and the mounting hardware uses stainless steel pull pins paired with high impact, corrosion proof brackets for long-term durability in a marine environment. Powdered metal gears provide strength and precision inside the actuator, while the stainless steel ram locks securely in any position along its travel, holding the hatch open or closed without drifting. The ball screw spins freely once the hatch reaches full open or full closed, which eliminates the need for limit switches and prevents burned out motors from over-travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach unit ships complete with a 2 foot lead wire terminated in a Deutsch connector for a weatherproof electrical connection. The actuator is CE-certified, ignition protected, and ABYC compliant, making it suitable for installation in gasoline-powered boat compartments. With a 20 inch stroke, a 33 inch retracted length, and a 53 inch extended length, it is sized for hatches and covers that need substantial lift travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
