Scott,

Would you mind giving details of the plug you have used up front for the electric and diagram and parts used at the back with the C-tek?

Thanks
Adam

how are the sealing the floor with the pedstal seats with springfield bases? (blue boat) and does this mean there is stinky water always left in the springfield base?

I believe they drain via a pipe back to the rear bilge - I never had any issues with them in our previous 485 either ?

Any one wanting to have a closer look at these boats can come down to the Urangan Marina ( Hervey Bay ) on Sunday the 2nd of March as we will be having an "Open Water Day" with both our boat and the blue side console pictured above. Both boats will be in the water all day and we will be able to take any one out for a run in these fantastic boats so you can appreciate just how good they are

Thanks Scott, I was a bit more interested in the arrangement of the permanently mounted C-tek. What sort of socket (inlet)/wiring set up are you using to supply 240Vac to the C-tek?

Thanks Adam

Very generous of you to let the 'public' have use of your boat for the day. Glad it's all gone well Scott

Just change the end of the power supply to a Clipsal 15amp water proof socket

Yeah mate - spend most of my time up in Platypus Bay and off the Sandy Cape

bloody nice collection of fish, got a mate that lives up HB I been meaning to visit, might hit that spot up, the boat looks like it rides superbly and is a pleasure to fish from, see you down at charltons Scott

Thanks. Only asked as I thought there would be a bit more to it, not 100% on the regs but I would have thought you would have needed some sort of RCD after the socket since it is 240Vac hard wired in the boat? Did you have to get a sparky to connect the socket?

It is a very convenient idea for keeping battery charged.

Yes mate - I had a marine electrician wired all my electronics and have the same set up on my last 3 boats
