Dan, the cowl flap motor is a simple DC motor. If you search this site, you'll find resources to have them rebuilt very inexpensively, albeit not via an FAA repair station.
I think it would be foolish for a Skymaster owner to pay the outrageous prices that are being asked for certified cowl flap motors. To me, its not a safety-critical part, so I'm happy to save $1500+ and have it repaired by a local DC motor shop.
Search for "alternator repair" near you if you don't find a "DC motor repair". Lots of times they fix dc motors as well. Same equipment required. YMMV.
