    Raw Water Washdown Pump - 2019 Freedom 285

    I am not getting any pressure in my raw water line. I listen for the pump and hear nothing. I see the hose coming off the seacock, but it heads over to the port side perhaps under the livewell. Does anyone have an idea as to how to access the raw water pump? Thnx for any help

    Coaming Pads?

    I have combing pads on my Grady White Freedom 285 that run along the aft portion of the boat. In the open cockpit section. On one side, there is a metal bracket that has ended up poking its way through the material. And I guess I would like to see if I could take those off and maybe have both of...

    Yamaha Helmaster Trim Assist

    I am interested in setting up the trim assist on my Freedom 285 with twin Yamaha 300s. I realize it's probably kind of a manual trial and error thing I believe there's four different trim assist settings based on boat speed and trim percentage but I was just curious if there's anything that's...

    Stereo Questions for 2019 Freedom 285

    Wrong Way Corrigan

    I rarely get out of site of land, but I am noticing that my Garmin MFD and my Ritchie Compass are not reading the same heading. I would say it may be off as much as +/- 20 deg. I was thinking the other day that I should probably figure out who to believe. Of course we all assume that GPS is...

    Under Bow access?

    Freedom 285. Right front speaker not working. I hooked up another speaker to confirm it was not the speaker. It has to be a wiring issue. Left front is working so I'm thinking bout running a short wire to daisy chain the right off the left. I realize it is not going to be high fidelity, but...

    Thinking about removing the Manual SureShade

    I purchased a 2019 freedom 285 that the owner installed most of the factory options on, one of those being the manual SureShade. I am realizing how large and unappealling it is to the lines of the boat. With all the nice new fly shades available today that can be put up in a snap, I am...

    Trailer Recommendations for Freedom 285

    I am curious If there are any production trailers out there that would accommodate the Freedom 285 and its wide beam? I've seen a few nice looking used trailers on Facebook marketplace with a capacity of 11 to 12,000 lb but I just don't know if they would be wide enough. If anybody has a...

    Flush mount rod holders on bow for shade poles?

    Our "soon to ours";) 2019 Freedom 285 does not have the flush mounted rod holders on the bow for the easy up bow shade. I'm curious if anyone has gone ahead and installed a smaller diameter rod holder for the poles for the easy up bow shade? Thanks
