Swim Platform Actuator Ram

[Serenade (Sean R)]

Hi all...on Serenade (hull #116), the swim platform motor was struggling...it was slow, and needed "help" coming up.  Left unassisted, it would grind to a halt and "click".  So it needed a new Actuator Ram.  I called Jeanneau, and the factory replacement was $1700 (ouch!).

I did some research, and found the following HD actuator online for $320 (delivered).

I ordered the 18", 12V, 450lb model: Model: PA-HD1-18-450-N-12VDC

It is a direct replacement.  Works better than the original (faster/stronger).

Keep in mind if yours dies...

Thanks for this tip. Sooner or later I suspect mine will fail also.
