    Flush Mount Horn Replacement

    I need to replace the horn on my 203 Freedom 285. It is the flush mount with a cover with five slats and a screw on each side of the cover. I think it is an AFI or Marinco cheap 12v horn. Two questions. Can it be replaced from the outside? Is there generally enough slack in the two wires to...

    I bailed on the new switch and simply relocated the old switch to a more convenient location.

    Correct. Only four lugs. Not sure about the other orange wire.

    Install Marinco 76030 Intelligent Wiper Switch - How To?

    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.

    Install Marinco 76030 Intelligent Wiper Switch - How To?

    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.

    Install Marinco 76030 Intelligent Wiper Switch - How To?

    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...

    Install Marinco 76030 Intelligent Wiper Switch - How To?

    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...

    285 Freedom Power Steering Pump

    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...

    Amplifier Location

    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.

    285 Freedom Power Steering Pump

    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...

    285 Freedom Power Steering Pump

    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...

    285 Freedom Power Steering Pump

    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.

    285 Freedom Power Steering 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...

    Retainer Netting?

    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.

    Retainer Netting?

    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...
