Freedom 285 captain seat motor

[Gspier1]

Does anyone know where to buy a replacement motor for the seat to go back and forth. My 10 year old motor stopped working. Part number and where to buy one would be helpful.

I'm also interested in this. I have a Freedom 275 with the same issue. Any suggestions welcome. Please let me know!

I'd shoot GW customer service a note and see if they can be of assistance.
Another option is to get to the motor and see if there is a manufacturer and part number on it.

I think found a replacement part. I measured mine and looks like it should fit perfectly. I am going to order one, to work on it over the winter. Boat is out of the water and being serviced to be ready for shrink wrap.

I'd still check with GW before ordering to see if they can help. Just sayn.

Great find, that is almost an exact replacement. I had the same problem on my 2017 285 Freedom, looked up that Garelick and it did look like my original. I ordered it and took mine out, my original was also a Garelick, identical except I had to drill two holes in the bottom plate to match the rear mounting holes on the boat which were further back. Easy repair and works perfect, thanks for the info on the Garelick seat slide.
