Rikki,
The Orion 2800's are notorious for water ingress thru the top seal.
This is a common issue with these otherwise great rotators.
I bet this is the cause of your problems.
I have completely rebuilt my 2800 and decided to add rain protection
so it will stay dry. I use Oatey EPDM roof flashings clamped on the
mast above
the 2800 mast clamp. This prevents the water from getting in to the
top of the
rotator. I dont remember the Oatey number you need to select one.
Here is an example, select the size your want. It works great, no
water getting in through the top seal.
