Follow up question on breakers. I replaced the 50 Amp with the 60 Amp breaker, W/disconnect, on the positive cable feeding the trolling motor. But what about the 50 Amp breaker, that Bass Cat installs on the jumper, between the two batteries? Should this be upgraded to a 60 Amp too? I didn’t see an offering in the Bass Cat store for anything larger than a 50 Amp. Thanks in advance.

Bass Cat, what are you currently using with the installs of the Ultrex, concerning the breaker that is between the two batteries. (On the 24v set up) Are you still using the 50 amp, or have you gone with a higher 60 amp ?

South-Sabre, I’m far from an expert, but I have a similar problem, only it’s my navigation (bow) light and dash lights that will not work from the A-10, but will work from the rocker switch up front. Your anchor light should be feed by the White wire, with the Black strip, from pin# 12 on the A-10 panel. You can check for power there, once you activate the anchor light from the A-10. (The Red light above Anc should be lit) I would suspect the ground at the light is ok, since it will work from the rocker switch. You should also be able verify your wiring from the A-10, to the light, by powering the light from the rocker switch and then reading the 12v back feed, on the White wire w/black stripe, at the Molex plug, with it removed from the A-10 panel. If the A-10 is not sending power to the light, you might be able to reset it by unplugging the Molex plug from the panel, waiting a few minutes and reconnecting it. I did not have success doing that, and I’m currently waiting on parts to receive in new panels. Hope this helps.

Redngoo, I have a 2015 P2 that came with the factory installed boarding ladder. I’ll be glad to help all I can. Not sure I‘m savey enough to post pictures on here, but could send them to your e-mail. I have taken a few with measurements.

Thank you BCB… What series should I look for in the General Tires product ?

Thanks Roostertail, Happy 4th…

BBC / Tire guys….

Looking at the General Tire Altimax, the 225/70R15 only has a max load of 1764 lb.’s @ max pressure of 44 psi. This is over a 1000 lb.’s less than my current Trailer King tires, as well as the other brands I’ve looked at, including the Endurance and Maxxis . This seems like a low rating for a single axle PII ? Inputs / Thoughts? Thank you….

BCB, just curious what would be needed to make the change back from the Vault system to a grease hub on an existing trailer. Would the races, bearings, and seals be the same, or would they be different? Then I guess just add a bearing buddy after repacking, to complete the change? Thanks.

Redngoo, great to hear your findings. By your report, you must have raised the boat off the trailer, rather then unloading at the ramp. I was wondering how you safely accomplished that.

Second, does your PII have the Vinyl Ester Resin upgrade on the outer layer? I don’t believe my 15 PII does, as I purchased it out of dealer stock. I wish it did have for the added protection, as I plan on keeping the boat for a few years.  I won’t even let my boat set in the water overnight, under a covered dock, when on fishing trips, because of the thought of blistering in mind. I know it’s a cost for the VE upgrade, but I see so many comments on here about how it should be based on how long you plan on owning your boat. I look at it, even if you don’t plan on keeping the boat long, what about the next owner, or the owner after that. Guess I’m looking more at the life of the boat, not the owner. Blistering wasn’t something I worried about on my older boats, but that was before the EPA got involved.

Redngoo, Thank you for the info.

I installed mine a little over two years ago, so far no issues. I really like the looks of them too. I can’t remember exact hole size that I drilled, maybe 1/4” or 5/16”. I did back fill the hole with silicone to complete the installation.
