Call your dealer.

I just changed mine there expensive over$200 got mine at marine max easy to change 2 wires and couple of bolts u will see once u get the cover off some philips head screws

Call sea ray parts (865) 971-6250 very helpful mine was dead they told me to disconnect it from the glass and spray it with wd40 move the actuator manually mine came back to life and it has been 2 years fine

I removed the bolt that attaches the end of my actuator from the glass mount. I rotated the rod that sticks out of the actuator a couple turns and sprayed wd40 on the shaft and turned the shaft back and forth a couple times. Actuator now works just like new.

I replaced my vent ram (motor) with a Werner ram from EBay, $49 instead of $300 that MarineMax wanted. Works like it should. Very simple to change, one bolt on the window and two screws that hold the ram.

Thanks for all the comments but bolt frozen too:( Has anyone replaced motor? Where is the access?

[Footloose]

There is an access panel directly above the ram motors.
Peal the caulk away and remove the panel
This will give you access to see/repair or replace the ram motors. If you are replacing one replacing one replace the other at the same time.

Before you spend any money on this fix give the ram a good coating of WD40 more than likely it will solve your problem. It did for me.

Ditto the disassemble and lubricate. Try that first

[SeaMax]

Are you sure its the motor and not the switch or breaker? I have SR410 and there is a separate breaker for that motor. Start there and follow the power to the switch, then check through power when activating the switch.

Tap on it as well sometimes retracting or closing to window it will bind a good tap on it while someone is holding the button open will get the window moving

I replaced mine with a new one and for fun I took apart everything and now it works. Try to clean yours, very easy

[Big_mike1]

Oil it with 656

My vent was stuck in open position. The limit switch failed. I just bypassed the limit switch. Just need to be careful when opening and closing.
