Here is a picture of the back of the switch. As you are looking at the picture, it is the switch on the right. According to Carling's website, power in is where the orange wire is. At least that's what I think.

I cannot. And, there is a definitely a park feature but I believe it is called a coast to park feature so that after the power is off, she always goes to the same spot.

I just checked the back of the existing switch. It has four wires going to it. One is a negative(black), another is for the backlight(blue), another is an orange and another is an orange with a black stripe. My guess is the orange with the black strip goes to the motor and the solid orange is...

Thank you. As far as I know, I do have a parking feature. I do not have a wash feature and the switch is lighted. Also, as far as I know, it is a one speed motor since my switch is a simple on off rocker. Since I am away from the boat, I do not have access to the back of the switch or the...

I have a 2013 Freedom 285. I want to swap out the wiper rocker switch with the Marinco Intelliegnt Wiper Switch https://www.marinco.com/en/p/76030/Intelligent-Wiper-Switch. However, reviews indicate that the wiring instructions are vague. Does anyone know how the existing rocker switch is wired...

Is it possible to use an air mattress in here just for a one or two night overnight?

Just to come full circle on this. I had a bad battery switch. However, that was not the cause of the power steering pump problem since those power leads were home run to the battery. In almost 50 years of boating, I never had a problem like this. It was actually a bad wire (unknown whether...

I have a Freedom 285 circa 2013. It has a Fusion 755 stereo. Does anyone know were Grady might have put the amplifier for that stereo? I am waiting to hear back from Grady but not confident that they know where it is. Thanks.

I just ran a dedicated line directly to the purple wire bypassing the ignition. Same flashing green light. My guess is that this means the pump (or the electronics inside it) are shot? It is possible that the purple wire is bad but unlikely. I will have to yank the pump to replace that wire and...

This pump is under my helm. The gray sheathed wires with the red and black wires run aft from the helm through a hole but at the batteries there is no gray sheathed wired So, somewhere it is spliced It also must have a 50 amp fuse in that line I do see a post mounted fuse at the battery but...

Any idea where Grady might have put the 50 amp fuse (or splice) for the power assist pump on this boat. Grady was not very helpful and actually told me the wrong location for the pump.

I have a 2013 285 Freedom with twin 300 Yammies. I think I just lost my power steering pump. First question is where is the pump? Second question is determining whether it is the Garmin AP pump that failed or the power steering pump? Third question is the location of any fuse or breaker for the...

The netting I am referring to is not in the head but rather in the port side panel (exposed to the elements) near the fusion radio.

After reading this thread, I decided to remove the netting on the port side panel near my Fusion radio on my Freedom 285. Now I need to figure out what to use to cover the dozen or so screw holes that are left after removing the netting. Any idea of what size screw goes in those holes? I will...

I brought my old one from my 285 Freedom to a local Napa store. $12 later, I had a new matching blade.

Anyone?

Has anyone converted the head on a Freedom 285 to a single berth like in the larger Freedoms. I am looking for a stop gap short term berth that goes over the head as in the slightly larger versions. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I did try to pull it out from the front and the wires on the back did pull out. Now, I do not know where they connect back to the rocker switch. I recall that there are two wires that pulled out, one still attached, and I believe a vacant blade. ANY help in telling me how to...

They are rocker switches.

I want to a CCTV camera and use one of my unused accessory switches to be able to power it on an off. Can I pull the switch from the front(rather than the underside) to be able to access the terminals on the back of the switch? If so, how do I yank it out from the front? Thanks.
