    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    It turns out that nothing was wrong after all. Despite having owned the boat for the past three years, it never occurred to me that this lounge seat when fully retracted was still substantially longer than the seat it backs up to. So, I fully extended the seat and then lifted it to observe that...

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    I too suspect that the seat was reinstalled with the actuator in the wrong position.

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    It turns out the motor does run in both directions --- or at least tries to. When trying to pull the seat in, and, after engaging the switch, I hear a "clunk". Thus, there is power to the motor in both directions. I have the fellow coming today who reinstalled the seat to take a look. Where are...

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    If I understand the wiring schematic, I can test the motor in both directions by simply removing the power leads, first connecting them directly to each lead to the motor. Then, I can reverse the power leads on the same motor studs on the switch to check the motor movement in the other...

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    More details. At the end of last season, I had the seats recovered. Since that time, after the fellow put the passenger seat back after having removed it from the boat, it no longer goes in with the switch. It will go out. Since the seat had been removed and put back in, I am inclined to think...

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    The passenger seat will go out but not go back in. I guess I need to access the actuator. I can't figure out how to get to the internal electrical components of the seat to be able to troubleshoot. Any help would be appreciated.

    Electrical Issue-Long Shot

    I finally got to speak to Grady White. They say the two white wires are for the electric rams on my power seats. One works fine with the white wire disconnected. The other, I have disconnected to replace my helm seat with a non-movable seat. I'll bet that is the offender.

    Makes sense. And yes, when that fuse blew, the plotter stopped working.

    Electrical Issue-Long Shot

    Thanks all. I do not have an electrocis box ram. Also, I have Yammies. I cannot seem to find something that does not work. Will continue to work on it. Could those white wires also be coming from my Yamahas? My boat is a bit unusual. For vertical clearance reasons, I had to have to hardtop...

    Electrical Issue-Long Shot

    I have a 2013 285 Freedom. I believe I may have a short somewhere. There is a thin gauge wire connected to a 7.5 amp blade fuse on the remote fuse panel. The wire color is white. The owner's manual does not identify this wire. It looks like a factory install and is on the same screw terminal as...

    Yamaha Command Link Plus Unreadable in Daylight

    Gaugesaver was in touch today via email and suggested just adding the anti-glare film I had on order. Great service on a Holiday.

    Yamaha Command Link Plus Unreadable in Daylight

    Thank you. I tried to use a polarized film I bought and it did not work. In doing some further research, it appears as if the lens has a polarized backing on it (at least I think it is polarized) and some sort of anti-glare on the front. In doing the polishing, I doubt that backing on the lens...

    Yamaha Command Link Plus Unreadable in Daylight

    I just found part of the answer but I am in need of a solution. From gaugesaver's website: Lens Polish Only will remove ugly water spots, but also removes the anti-glare coating So, how do I get to add a anti-glare coating?

    Yamaha Command Link Plus Unreadable in Daylight

    Ok folks, I need some help. I have the above gauge. It was sent to a reputable outfit to polish the lens. However, after polishing, I can no longer read the gauge in direct sunlight. I suspect the anti-glare film was polished off. I have also asked on another forum but does anyone know what...
