I just purchased a 2005 Fourwinns Vista 378 and cannot locate the control to move the aft couch/futon in and out. The manual says it is below the aft cabin sliding window. I have looked all around it but can't seem to find it.

Probably not but just in case, If I'm seeing this right and in the right area?, I believe I'm able to see 2? white switches in the mirror on the right that would show the left side of the closet...The switches are incased in a black cased cover with a hazard warning sticker just below them. Does yours have the same and are they marked?

I also found in the owner's manual where it says the left switch is for the To convert the mid cabin couch/bed assembly into a berth follow the steps below: 1. Press the left portion of the switch below the mid cabin sliding window to activate the screw jack which in turn extends the base of the couch aft.

Plus for a technical aspect, I believe in the Electrical Schematics and page 17, the switch may be listed as BED RAM SW that uses wiring color ORN/TAN found near J96 MAIN PANEL plug 2 all in which appears to possibly be in line with the closet area wiring... Or page 183,

Thank you for the information Fun Times. Unfortunately ours does not have the cabinet and I do not see any switch on the wall.

Seems it would be time to reach out to FW like Scott mentioned using your hull ID number to see if that feature was installed on your boat build sheet… also ask if there’s another way to set it up manually… They are usually pretty good at getting back to general questions regarding boat building features.

Will do, thank you.
