Actuator advise

Looking for a RC actuator that will push 20 pounds in a straight. I am building a 5 foot saltwater bait boat. I need to push the bait off the rear

Hi @Gct

What would be the stroke needed for the actuator?
Would the actuator be parallel to the ground?

Hello and thanks

6 to 12 inch stroke
Parallel

Hey @Gct

It’ll be easily be able to push the bait off the rear.
