Seems the motor in my engine hatch has died, I own a 1999 festa vee 330. Where can I get a new one and which one do I need?

    Look for the label. It has all the specs on it. You'll need to replace the whole unit, not just the motor.

    Under the rear seat should be an inspection plate you can pull the pin on the shaft and manual open the hatch

    I think on my 330 the inspection plate is below the table hold down.

    I forgot my 270 was in the floor but I had a table put in when I bought it and they put the inspection plate under the seat

    I agree with BA. Ck those fuses and hope, otherwise look for the pin and hope it's not(I'm sure it won't be) like the 360 SR we saw a few days ago where there was virtually no way to pull the pin w/o cutting a new access port. 

    Either way, Rinker should have the specs on what was installed if the label is gone. It may not be much help for your specific application except to provide a contact number for the mfg, but here's the pic of my hatch motor ('04 FV270). Good luck and let us know how it goes. Mike

    MY LIFT WENT UNDER WATER AND RUINED THE MOTOR, I PAID 125$ for the motor make sure to greese the gears and shaft for best performance. Acculift has two different companies it took me two days to get a call back from the one employee that deals with the lifts.
