Lenco 5-pole/5 lobe Power Wedge actuator that spans all models that used the Lenco actuators as the 3-pole models are no longer available.

Sold individually though often both need to be replaced — when one malfunctions it can damage the other from the extra stress put on it. In that case, two will need to be ordered.

Typically speaking, Malibu used the 3-pole actuators on 2006-2011 models, the 5-pole actuators on 2012-2014 models, and the completely redesigned hydraulic actuators on 2015+ models.

To determine if you have 3 pole actuators and need to upgrade to the 5 pole, check the first digit of the 5 digit number stamped on the actuator itself. If the number is 1-4, the actuator is a 3 pole. If the number is 5-8, the actuator is a 5 pole.

While some have had success replacing 3-pole actuators with 5-pole actuators, Malibu recommends upgrading your control box if switching from a 3-pole to 5-pole system. Depending on your year and computer system will depend on which control box you need. Reach out to us with your hull ID # and we can help identify which one is required.
