Was looking into upgrading my 1958 NCO from the hydro lift to electric actuators. Any one done this conversion? Pretty handy so not worried about electrical portion just questioning best actuators and relay switch to get all 4 on same switch. Thanks

If you put them all on one switch, be sure each has a built-in limit switch so it shuts off when it reaches the top of the stroke. I can guarantee they won't move at the same speed, so some will reach the top of the stroke quicker. I plan on doing this mod on my 76 10' NCO. If you do the mod, be sure and post your results.

Member rando has one lift that he uses to raise the top. He may have some insights into good ones.

You might contact Pop Top Overland. They have converted some Alaskans to electric actuators and talked about making a conversion kit at one time. Not sure if they ever did or not!
