So I am at the lake currently for a week right now and the power wedge has decided to get stuck somehow half way up. I am trying to figure out how this can be fixed...Any help would be much appreciated, I don't have the manual with me and the switch is not actuating the wedge at all. Any suggestions on where and what might be happening would be great. Thanks

My buddy had the same problem on his. There is an in line fuse going from the wedge to the box. Check that fuse,

When you're referring to the box are you talking about the actual switch?

Had this happen to me on an 07, the fuse probably blew if you hear nothing happening, The fuse is under the dash right in the middle under the steering column. It does not look like a regular fuse as it is a blade fuse that is in a holder. The holder is black and squarish and you have to squeeze the clips and pull the fuse out. You can also follow the wires off of the wedge switch on the dash. Mine was on a 07 247 so should be the same. hope this helps and you can get back on the water

Thanks guys for the input, I am going to look at it this morning and keep you posted...I sure hope it is just a fuse.

Here is a post that shows where the PW fuse is located, IIRC it's a 30amp.

The other thing to check is back in ’06 and some of the early ‘07’s the actuator casings were weak and cracked. Inspect them to make sure this didn’t happen, they have been redesigned and solved that issue.
