Lenco 12V 29"-41" Hatch Lift w/o Switch

The Lenco 12V 29"-41" Hatch Lift without Switch is a 12-volt electric hatch actuator designed to automate deck hatch and engine compartment access on fishing boats and recreational vessels. Built by Lenco Marine, a manufacturer known for quality marine hydraulic and electric systems, this compact linear actuator delivers over 500 pounds of lifting force with a 12-inch stroke, extending from a retracted length of 29 inches to a fully extended length of 41 inches. The inline motor design and corrosion-resistant construction make it well-suited for saltwater environments where standard mechanical hinges or manual props become impractical.

This actuator features clear anodized aluminum tubing that resists corrosion in marine salt air, complemented by stainless steel pull pins and high-impact mounting brackets engineered to withstand the stress cycles of repeated opening and closing. The unit arrives with a 2-foot lead wire and Deutsch connector—industry-standard connectors found across marine electrical systems—allowing straightforward integration into existing 12V electrical architecture on the boat. The clutchless design eliminates mechanical complexity and potential failure points. At 6 pounds and measuring 4 x 4 x 36 inches, the hatch lift fits within standard engine compartment and deck locker space constraints on vessels from center console fishing boats to larger cabin cruisers.

Operators seeking motorized hatch automation—weekend anglers upgrading from manual props, charter captains managing multiple deck access points, or boat owners retrofitting aging compartments—will find this lift reduces fatigue during frequent engine compartment checks and improves safety by eliminating the need to hold heavy hatches open during maintenance. The 500-pound force output handles insulated hatches, canvas-backed covers, and dual-hatch systems common on larger recreational and commercial fishing platforms. The "without switch" configuration allows integration with existing control systems or paired with aftermarket rocker switches, push buttons, or wireless remote controls for customized operator convenience.
