I purchased my 2120 last Sept and found the port actuator not working but the port did. I took the port actuator apart and found a stripped brass gear. I could not get just the gear and had to purchase a whole new actuator. Went through the painful experience of installing that. ( I learned a lot through my mistakes )
So here comes my nightmare.
After installing the actuator I went to try it out in my driveway. The port still does not work. :shock: I found I was not getting any power to the actuator but did to the control box so I figured it was a bad control box or switch. I had been wanting to convert to the LED switch / control box that shows the tabs position so it was a perfect time.
The conversion was very easy as it appears to be a plug and play install. When I went to test out the system with excitement I then had the port working and starboard not. :evil:
I then switched the actuator wire connectors and nothing changed. The port continued to work and the starboard remained dead!
This does not make any sense to me and I am really frustrated. It then dawned on me that I learn a lot on this forum so I should share my nightmare and see if anyone has suggestions. :wink:
Still love my boat though! Thanks in advance for any help offered.
