Wake Plate motor

Update......received the part 15122-001 , pulled out the top and hull fitting of old one , re siliconed the new one in and the boat is back to awesome again........so nice to have the wake plate operating correctly. It was a very simple R&R , took longer to clean the hull and fittings than to actually get the new one back in.

I just posted in another thread about this and fianlly just found this post. Did you re wire through boat hull or did you take the wire cap of new actuator and use old wire housing to avoid messing with the sealed wire through the hull. About to ATEMPT THIS myself with using old wiring cap.

I believe the wires were not inserted in the connector so I could use the same hole and then put the connector on after I pulled it thru the hull

So the new actuator came this morning and I installed it. I unscrewed the top cap of the new one and used the top cap of the old one with the original wires the were already ran through the hull. It was a simple swap since I was still receiving power to the actuator. After further examining the old actuator last night, some of the teeth on one of the gears inside were sheared off. For anyone else doing this, there is a red dot next to the wire connector in the actuator. The black wire gets connected to the terminal with the red dot. Sealed the caps back up and it ran back to normal. I will try and take some pics of what I was dealing with. The hardest part was taking the key chain style rings off the actuator bolts that connect it to the wake plate.

I am getting ready to attempt this also. Did you need to seal the top cap on the actuator? I haven’t tried to unscrew the top yet, but it looks like there may be a gasket on there. I would prefer not to remove the transom mounting bracket.
