Mine will turn but neither captains chair will slide forward or back. Might be doing something wrong.

If yours is similar to the older 192, then you extend it out to slide.

No, the mechanism sucks. I have to get on my hands and knees to adjust either chair. Ridiculous

Don't tell my wife, but I have to move her seat forward and back for her its suck a PITA. Also, if you have it all the way back, you have to move it forward for it to rotate, otherwise it hits the gunnel and won't rotate.

Ya it may be time to pull it and soak the mechanism with WD40. Good luck.
Use something with a penetrant. WD40 works in a pinch, but it only does what it's name says...WD=Water Displacement
