I have 3 of these BEP motorized remote battery switches. The switch for the port engine has stopped operating automatically when I hit the switch inside the cabin. I can still manually work the switch by going in the bilge. Wondering if the switch just needs to be replaced, or if there is...

I bought one of those 50A pigtails for my last boat to do the same thing and it did not work. I'm no EE, but I figured it was because it was only powering 1 leg of the 220V, and that leg was not connected to my charger. Or the boat was smart enough to not accept anything but 220V.

Good gawd. Those big lakes can be a byatch!

Thanks LD. I have 1 50A power cord, and I have 2 battery chargers (12V and 24V) onboard, so I don't know how I'd get an adapter to provide power from a 120V AC outlet. What I did was rewire the 12V charger so that I can manually install a pigtail 120VAC plug at haul out. This will allow me...

Here’s a forecast from Superior last year.

Yes, there is a main switch for each bank. So you're saying that I should not disconnect the cables? My understanding was there could still be some draw that bypasses the switch, like bilge pumps, but maybe that is just for the house bank.

I was surprised at the number of house batteries too. This was the original Tiara design and all were replaced by PO with AGM last year. Replacing 6 with 1 8D is an interesting idea for when these near end of life.

I typically do just put trickle chargers on the batteries and plug them in when I'm there. With 10 batteries in this boat it gets a bit more challenging. So for the house bank (6 x 12V) I connect built-in 12v charger to a temporary AC pigtail plug that I can plug into the wall to...

I have 4 engine batteries for 2 engines (see pic). They are in series providing 24V to my Volvo motors. When I had a 12V setup, I always disconnected the negatives. For winter storage this year (indoor heated) I completely removed the two middle cables (see red rectangle in pic). Is this...

Someone should design alternate fittings for those horns, because I think the factory plastic compression fittings are not rugged enough for the marine environment. It seems to me that some sort of screw-on fitting, similar to used on an ice maker would last much longer.

I disagree that the horn pump is that hard to get to. I'm 6' and 190 and not young, and there was plenty of room for me to get back there (your results may vary :)). The key is to put a board over the rudder posts to give yourself something to crawl/lay on. Those rudder posts are very sturdy...

We do mackinac island every year. A favorite. There are many nice ports on Lake Huron, which you choose depends on situation. We love port Austin, east tawas and presque isle. Lexington is awesome but pretty far from the island. I usually book a couple ports and then let the weather dictate...

I admire you’re willingness to be open and honest with us Carp. Must admit I was disappointed to hear as your feedback has been helpful to me over the years. Thanks for being a great contributor and I Hope you have the wind at your back in whatever you pursue.

Yep my buddy and I were admiring your vessel.

We spent the night on scenic dock. Which boat is yours. Saw a couple of nice sea rays on the dock.

Yes, that is Hucks. Beautiful Marina, and the folks were great to work with. Yes I bought it. Brought it all the way back to lake st Clair.

Well guys, finally leaving the sea ray family. We’ve moved on to a Tiara 50 Coupe. I miss the 420/44 and 320 forum, I learned a ton. Brought new boat back from Lake Ontario, Welland canal was an adventure. I’ll be around the forum because Tiara has nothing like this community. Scott

Well guys, seems like we just met. After about 3 years in the 460 family, we’ve moved on to a Tiara 50 Coupe. Brought new boat back from Lake Ontario, Welland canal was an adventure. I’ll be around the forum because Tiara has nothing like this community.

This is a very old thread, but I got the work done by Dennis Miller Miller’s Custom Boat Top Inc. 41700 Conger Bay Dr Harrison Township MI 48045 Not sure if he’s still in business, but he was considered the best in town back in the day.
