Lenco trim tabs (electric) on a 2004 Sterling flats boat are giving me issues. The Port side actuator will not go down. The Actuator will make a noise to come up, but it is silent when the button is pressed to go down. I thought it may be the switch so i replaced that, but the problem continued. the other side works correctly. what may be my problem?

I tried calling Lenco but no one picks up...

you're not holding your mouth right when pressing the button

- test the voltage at the actuator and at the trim tab
- any inline fuses?

Used to have a lot of issues with my Lenco's....finally found problem. After the control box and before going beneath floor, the dealer had installed quick disconnects (stupid idea) and they would loose connections. I cut out and made a good solder connection and now they work great.

yeah, they are both getting power its the problem, so im getting the only thing it could be is the control box if the switch didnt do it
