One common problem with Yaesu rotators is water in the connector boot. I
would check this connection first.
If it's not in the connector: I'm not familiar with the Yaesu rotator,
but if they use a lube on the pot (if it's wire wound like the ham
series)it may have hardened and just needs cleaning and relubed. Hope
it's something simple.

I plan on taking my Yaesu G-2800SDX rotor down this summer to replace an
intermittent position feedback pot, that has been acting up for the last
three years. It's been in service for over 15 years with low usage. I
suspect moisture possibly thaw &freezing in the winter. Couple of
questions. Anyone have any pot failure history with the G-2800 series
rotor? Anyone have factory setup instructions for re assembly , and is it
worth trying to shield the pot shaft bushing from water in this model
rotor,?
Thanks,
Frank W9JCC
