Vbirth Power Cushion Electric Motor Needed (New Style Cabin Interior)
 

I need a new motor for the power cushion that extends the vbirth. I haven't called Fountain yet, as I thought I could cross reference it to something else once I got it out. Unfortunately, the label / tag is not on the motor. I took the motor apart last night - it is very rusted and corroded. I'm not sure I'll be able to resurrect it. I've got it soaking in PB Blaster as we speak to help loosen the brushes and surface rust.

Does anyone have a part number for the motor?

Thanks
Terry

I haven't found a new motor yet - but I was able to take my motor apart, clean the corrosion off the components, dress the brushes, and reassemble. So I'm back in business now - but this will happen again.

I ordered a motor from Amazon
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it looks very similar (from pictures) to what is in the boat. Bolt pattern looked similar, size looked similar - but it is different and will not work, so don't buy that one!

By the way, Fountain has discontinued the motor part number, and no longer produce the power seat cushion feature. They gave me the supplier name (Springfield Marine), I called and they said they had never made a seat with a motor - go figure.

Keep after it. Mine works very slowly. I'm sure you will figure it out and then I can copy.

Terry,
Why didn't the amazon replacement work?

While the bolt pattern looked correct, the right angle transmission is much larger than the factory part. The screw jack in the lift mechanism is also a custom part, so the gear from the Amazon motor would not mesh up, nor was it the right size.

Mine works now, so I'll be reinstalling tomorrow.
