Power Gear Electric Jacks

I have been having to replace the brake on the electric jacks about every two years, I seal the top and wire outlet with RTV and tape and two bands. I know there have been many problems with the corrosion on the brake assembly. Looking for ideas to solve this problem...

    If you really want something much better than RTV try 3M 5200
    It used for throu haul fitting in boats. Best thing out there for sealing.

    I have not had much problem with mine since I cycle them at least every 30 days.:)

    Power Gear has a new sealing boot and a different wiring harness update. I got mine through Fleetwood's web site.:)
