NSS failure

[XBIGPUN66]

We had a problem like this and it turned out to be the actuator.

Just sold my 2014 G to my cousin and he's having problems with the NSS. It makes an awful sound but it does deploy, sometimes it throws a circuit fault. Assume the actuator needs to be replaced (since there was nothing stuck between the plate and the hull)? 725 hours on the boat.

So if that's right, its relatively easy to get one but our question comes on the "how" to replace it. Things seems straightforward from the outside but how do you get access to the wire on the inside of the hull and how is it fed through? Will we also need a special sealant? Anyone have pics? Didn't see the wire in the subfloor ballast access hatch so assume access is gained somewhere in the engine compartment?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Any luck with this? Mine failed yesterday with the same symptoms and is very slightly deployed.
Thank you

Had to replace the actuator. I think it is just take off the plate on the back of the boat and replace it. $400
