The electric over hydraulic actuator we recommend the highest is the Hydrastar part # HBA16. This actuator is the favorite of our installers because of how well it works. It is the most reliable and has the quickest reaction time. It will be your best option.

None of the systems are designed to be submerged though so they aren't rated for saltwater or freshwater as under normal use that shouldn't be an issue.

I attached an install video for this actuator for you to check out as well.
