Do you have a connector at the end of the pigtail from the rotor?  A
friend had issues with his Orion 2800 and it turned out the connector
was the culprit.  He hard wired the rotor and he hasn't had a problem
since.  I've heard the connector story from others as well and the
solution was eliminating the connector.  
 
I also have an Orion 2800 and it came with a water tight box with a
terminal strip.  My distance from the shack to the rotor is
approximately 200 feet and I've not had any problems in two years.
