My trim tab sometimes does not retract, I have a pair of Lenco electric tabs. When I hit the switch I can hear the motor running but the actuator does not go down all the time. I thought maybe the hinges need to be lubed so I hit with some PB. That helped at first but I notices days later when I play with it on the trailer its not retracting. Is this the actuator that needs to be replaced or is there something else I can try before replacing the part?

most likely your actuator plastic bits inside are shot
