Hayward Gear Box Assembly for Pool Vac and Navigator Cleaners$3263
Quick overview
- Check the top plate color first This is the red top plate version. A gear box with a black top plate is a different part and the two do not interchange.
- Fixes a cleaner that turns one way A head that keeps steering the same direction and leaves the hose coiled like a pretzel is the classic failed gear box.
- Try cleaning the old one first Gear boxes often jam on dog hair and fine debris, and stripping and clearing the existing box sometimes brings it back.
- Broad fit across the range Listed for the Pool Vac, Pool Vac Ultra, Pool Vac XL, Navigator and Navigator Pro cleaners.
- Molded plastic Built in plastic, as fitted originally.
- Complete assembly Supplied assembled, so the whole unit drops into the cleaner rather than being rebuilt piece by piece.

Product details
The Hayward AXV408P is the gear box assembly used across the Pool Vac and Navigator suction cleaners, including the Pool Vac Ultra, the Pool Vac XL and the Navigator Pro. It ships as a complete assembly.
The symptom to look for
The gear box is what makes the cleaner change direction as it works the pool. When it fails, the cleaner keeps steering the same way, circles one part of the floor and winds the hose into a knot. If the head still drives but no longer turns, this is the part.
Try cleaning before you replace
Gear boxes seize on debris more often than they wear out. Dog hair in particular packs into them. Opening the old box, clearing it and reassembling is worth an hour before you buy a new one, and it costs nothing to try.
Red plate or black plate
Check the top plate on your existing gear box before ordering. This is the red top plate version. The black top plate gear box is a separate part and the two are not interchangeable, so getting this wrong means sending it back.
