    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    I just received this from Grady White CS. I'll give it a shot soon but frankly, it makes no sense to me. I think this implies that there is some sort of calibration procedure with the actuator but they don't exactly say so. Thoughts welcomed. "They share that you need to disconnect the seat...

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    Take a look at the pictures attached to see what I mean about the seat not fully retracting.

    The actuator is working fine in both directions.

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    The guy who did the install said there is only one pin holding the seat to the actuator and that he never moved the seat. Makes no sense to me.

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    Thanks. GW customer service gave me the wrong information regarding even accessing the actuator. I am not counting on them. Once again, I am unite sure it is not an actuator position issue. It is an issue with where the seat itself was placed on the two skids that the actuator pulls in and out.

    Passenger Seat 285 Freedom Actuator Issue

    Well, here's an update. After careful inspection, it does appear that the seat is not fully retracted. It's not an actuator issue. It looks to me like when the seat recover folks placed the chair back in, they seemed to have afixed it in the wrong place. The actuator is in the middle of two...

    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...

    How do I get inside the seat?

    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.
