      It is a Firgelli. I wish it had a higher IP rating. It's rated IP43. So, I'm going to add a little extra protection from the rain.

      Let me know how it works out.
      I had to replace my first ones after a year so the next ones (on the advice of Norm Walsh)
      I drilled a hole in the motor case at the bottom so any moisture could drain out, and put
      silicon around where the plunger meets the case. They've last over 2 years now.

      This actuator is pretty pricey to have to replace every year or two. Where do you put the hole in the motor housing; got a photo of that? And how exposed are yours? I plan to line the underneath of the deck with left-over rubber liner and channel the rain away from the actuator. If I get this right, it should only see high humidity and no direct contact with rainwater.
