Nate,
Dennis just covered that motor thing a couple days ago. You have to pay attention every day on this list!

It cost like $4, but needed a few mods to fit.

I reached out to Marinco a couple months ago and was advised that the rebuild kit is no longer made.

I found a few commercial firms selling parts, including motors. Hopefully this helps..

However the motor in mine died after about 4 years. The unit was imo expensive at nearly $300 and loss of a $5 or less small dc motor turned it into a much cheaper mushroom vent. So far I have not been able to source a replacement motor. On Sun, Dec 6, 2020 at 8:06 PM David Risch <[email protected]> wrote: Did a bit of research. Seems they all stink. What say you?
