    Stereo Questions for 2019 Freedom 285

    Same boat, different year. I may be able to help, a little. On my boat, there was an amp hidden under the steering wheel. There was also a subwoofer speaker aft of the port seat. My system, using a Fusion head unit was a disaster. I eventually eliminated the amp completely and took the outputs...

    Footrest Help Needed

    Does anyone know whether I can access the bolts under the inside of the port seat to remove the port footrest that I do have? Not sure if the cushion lifts up.

    Footrest Help Needed

    I want to add a footrest to my 2013 Freedom 285. I want to add it under the helm seat. Unfortunately, my boat is layed up for the winter out of sight and I'd like the new footrest to match the one on the port side under the port side seat. Can someone tell me what brand and size the OEM footrest...

    Freedom 285 Side Pocket Netting Gone---Ideas fro Filling Holes

    Thanks. The tub also houses a 12V power outlet etc. Not really worth it to replace the tub. So, back to just filling in the small holes.

    Freedom 285 Side Pocket Netting Gone---Ideas fro Filling Holes

    I removed the netting on the post side pocket where the radio stereo head is located because the netting looked ratty. It left about one dozen very small holes where the netting had passed through. Any ideas either on the best way to cover/fill these small holes or put some sort of cover over...

    Grady Freedom 285 Instrument Wrap

    It's a very thin layer of metal that is flaking. I can glue it back down but I can't seem to fully black out or hide the seams. I am probably not the only Grady owner who has had this problem.

    Grady Freedom 285 Instrument Wrap

    My instrument panel is starting to bubble and flake. Is there some sort of wrap I can overlay to avoid having to replace the whole panel for a few small flaking areas? Any other ideas? Thanks.

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    Problem solved. Despite protestations to the contrary, the seat guy reinstalled the hinges that attach the top of the seat (seat cushion) to the base in the wrong position. They attached the hinges to the end of the seat rather than reattach them to the underside of the seat roughly six inches...

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    I just received this from Grady White CS. I'll give it a shot soon but frankly, it makes no sense to me. I think this implies that there is some sort of calibration procedure with the actuator but they don't exactly say so. Thoughts welcomed. "They share that you need to disconnect the seat...

    Take a look at the pictures attached to see what I mean about the seat not fully retracting.
