    Freedom 275 outrigger installation

    Here are 3 pics. 1 is a 2023 275 with welded in plates on the frame. 2. Is an older 275 with the bases mounted with a backing plate inside the Hardtop frame. Sorry hard to see with the enclosure. 3. Is my 307 with same base as #1. If you have the plates already installed it should be pretty...

    Freedom 275 outrigger installation

    There is a 275 across the slip from me and I will look at it today. Will try to send you a picture if I can my experiences the top on these freedoms have a thicker spot that is made for the outriggers. It’s a very simple installation process of just drilling the center hole and the four bolt...

    Center rod holder 232 Gulfstream

    On my 307 I have a 0° swivel mounted in the gunnel between the two factory rod holders. The previous owner had installed these and I wasn’t sure I was going to like the 0° but it actually has worked well and I especially like the swivel.

    I would also add that the need for this may be felt differently, depending on where you boat. If you are mainly inshore or intercoastal may not be such a big deal. But if you were going offshore and some unfamiliar waters, it’s a good feeling to know you have options.

    No power to onboard charger

    Update** Found the breaker and isolator. Both are under the Starboard gunnel. I had to lay on my back in the floor to look up under there. Not something I’ve had the need to do until now. See attached pics of the locations. Breaker wasn’t tripped and it wouldn’t trip when tested. Thought it...

    Sea-Tow membership

    I have both sea tow and boat us. Some areas have better coverage than others. I’m fine with the $$ for the piece of mind. How much have you paid in homeowners and car insurance over the years? Few actually come out ahead unless you have a major loss. But if you do it’s worth it.

    No power to onboard charger

    Awesome thanks. I knew there was an isolator but didn’t know it had a switch. I’ll check that tonight

    No power to onboard charger

    Hi all, My Freedom 307 onboard charger is not getting any power. I assumed there would be a fuse or circuit breaker somewhere between the charger and the shore power connection but I cannot locate it. I have no other AC accessories on the boat. Previously when I would plug in the shore power...

    How to trouble shoot rocker switch

    I also suspect the switch is bad. Which is easy to replace. But sometimes floats get hung up on those pumps causing them to run.

    Floating boat lifts for Freedom 275

    Agree that is way too much money. There is not nearly as much hardware on a floating lift. Just an air pump. No multiple motors or pilings. No cables and gearboxes. I would keep shopping

    Freedom 307 hardtop support repair

    Yes lucky there is access to see the bottom of both rear posts. This allowed me to confirm there was no wiring inside. The port side had a wire loom secured to one of the post screws. When I first saw it I thought it was coming out of the top. But wasn’t. They took off the mid supports to allow...

    Freedom 307 hardtop support repair

    No worries. I’m fully capable of doing something stupid. I think the issue is more of the lateral side to side support. You would really need a larger side post because you can’t put up big 45* cross braces. Those rear uprights take a lot of force. The front has different geometry.

    Freedom 307 hardtop support repair

    I sent them pics of the cracks. It was out of warranty and they offered some repair suggestions. Sounded like they buy the frames from a supplier. But at the end of the day it was $600 to have all welded. I did the paint myself. just happy to be able head out again with the worry of it breaking...

    Sureshade PTX

    I don’t think that is accurate. Their website says the PTX model has been tested up to 40mph. I have the factory version and recall reading somewhere in the manual you drive with it extended.

    Freedom 307 hardtop support repair

    Yes it looks factory. I can notice the slight color difference but doubt anyone else would even see it.

    Freedom 307 hardtop support repair

    The paint was from Orbit industries in TX. See attached pics. Oyster White was the color I also got the small touch up vial for spot repairs around screw heads and such.

    Freedom 307 hardtop support repair

    After a trip to the Abacos last summer I noticed some cracks in the rear upper support tubes and at their bases. We had a pretty nasty tight 3-4ft head sea with an East wind for 4 hours straight. Boat has the sunshade option and I added a 7 rod holder from GW Performance bolted to the top. It...
