## ⚙️ Key Features

-   1.424 kg
-   Listed for 22 V series applications
-   From the Marine Propulsion group
-   Electrically operated moving unit rather than a passive part

## 🔌 Function

Turns a command from the control system into physical movement at the drive, holding the position it is told to hold.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Slow, jerky or incomplete movement when the control is operated
-   Buzzing, clicking or grinding with no movement at all
-   Fault codes stored against the actuator circuit
-   Corrosion or green deposits inside the connector, or water in the plug
-   Output rod or arm seized, bent or found with visible play

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the supply voltage, earth and connector condition before condemning the actuator - a corroded plug produces the same symptoms
-   Carry out any calibration or end-stop learning the system requires after fitting, or the travel will not be correct
-   Bracket 23208176 and its lighter partner 23210381 also cover 22 V series engines, so check the whole mounting arrangement while access is good
