@@djr6246 no idea on the owner's manual. I bought my boat used, a 2021. It did have manuals with it. I would think that since you bought a 2024, the manuals should be in the boat, possibly in the drawers under the bunk in the cabin. As far as the charging of the house batteries, both the generator and the motors charge them. If you are running the motors, just cruising, you don't have to have the generators on and your house batteries should have a trickle charge from the alternators. If the motors aren't running, you can trickle charge the house batteries with the generator.

@@djr6246 Also, I have seen that same warning on my boat and it was a false indicator. After a while, message just went away. At the time it happened, the czone showed my house batteries at 90%, which is not low, so there's that...

@@mikeh7256 good stuff - thanks for both

Is there a battery charger switch that has to be turned on?

@@djr6246 No. The Mastervolt inverter/charger does that automatically internally. For example, when you are on shore power, the system goes into charger mode. When you disconnect shore power and start your motors, the system goes into inverter mode and looks for charging power from your alternators on your motors.

@@RichardGlassford Harbor Freight for the winch. Amazon for the remote.

@@miguelarizmendi5931 have fun!

@@jpalmtree5549 I would add either a third rail or better support underneath and just spread the two existing rails. You could probably do a twin or queen.

@@mikeh7256 thanks for your info

This particular video actually covers where to hook the tow rope. It's a y configuration and yes it is connected to the swim platform cleats between the motors. I got with Aquila and they told me that it can actually hold the boat's weight so they are definitely strong enough for water sports.

And by the way, thank you for your kind comments. The 32 is an extremely versatile boat, which is why we bought it. You can do everything from water sports like you would any other ski boat and you can take the leisurely cruise for several days.

@@mikeh7256 Thanks - I missed that section on the first pass. Very helpful

That, my friend, is an excellent question! What you need to do is make sure that the wire is rolled up neatly. To do that, you will need to let your lift all the way down and just keep coming for a little bit and then stop. Now, start the wind-up process again with tension on the wire so that it neatly wraps around the spool. Once you do this, there won't be any jumping around. Further, we have gotten used to stopping the lift a few inches before it hits the floor so this doesn't happen again. That is the cause.

Thank you for the reply. I have done both things you mentioned. I'll agree, stopping before touchdown on the floor is the best possible solution. But that's a guessing game. It seems to work fine for several times and then the issue returns. Probably needs a lower stop switch but I'm not sure how to put that into the system.

@@mikemm03 if you figure out how to put the stop switch at the bottom, let me know!

@@mikeh7256 also wondering if less rope would help. These things have 40 foot. 20 foot would be ample for my needs, only lifting 8 feet.

@@mikemm03 That would be a great idea. I'm just not sure how to shorten it. I've never let it out all the way.

The problem I found is not with Marine Max in general, but the proximity of a Marine Max near your boat. You might check with them to see if you can have someone locally fix your boat, including an auto body guy and have them sign off on the warranty work. A lot of times, you can actually get an auto body guy to come to you.

Lol - Well crud! My secret is out! I'm not an expert. But, so easy, even a novice like me can do it. Thanks for your comment!

No idea

I'd create a loop over system and mount the winch lower

Sorry I'm not two mechanically inclined when it comes to these type of adjustments. Maybe you can give me additional information or it might be a great idea for an update video when space is an issue. Thanks for answering my question, I find your videos very interesting and informative thank you so much!

In the end, I hired an electrician to figure out the wiring scheme. Worth it. I was afraid I was going to ruin it.

@@mikeh7256 👍 I’ve tried using the brown on mine in place of your blue wire but that didn’t work. I’ve found the schematic online but that doesn’t give the wire color codes. I’ll get it to work eventually and then add the color codes I’ve came up with when done, it may help others. Thanks 👍

Any luck yet? Mine is doing the same

@@waderambo460 I actually got better information off this video. It was all a help but with the wire color codes this one made more sense to me. I did get mine working after buying the relays, I also bought a plastic box to put it all in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/omSWYYluoNGegrcsi=LMFhflKyxN6h6gs5

Wayne, thank you so much for taking the time to send such nice comments. I knew up front when I created these videos that there wouldn't be a ton of views, but it could be or hopefully could be helpful to people who have either just bought or are looking at buying a new 32. I almost bought a 2020 and opted for the 21 because of the different seating configuration. One thing I would caution you about on the 2020 is the lowering swim platform in the back. Hopefully yours doesn't have it. They quit offering it because of all the maintenance issues. In the next couple of weeks, I'm going to release another video on upgrading from AGM batteries to a lithium bank. It's more than just a battery swap and definitely worth it! I did look at the seapen because I was keeping the boat at the house. Not sure if you've seen my latest video. I got a boathouse approved in Elizabeth City, NC and a 24k hydrolic lift from Sunstream. Yes, there will be a video on that! LOL. My boat came with bottom paint and I didn't want to paint it every year either so the best option was getting the hull out of the water. Some folks were concerned with getting growth on the Seapen system itself, because it stays in the water and your Hull doesn't get dry. Because of that, you can get osmosis contamination. Also , I'm in an area that can get two and 3-ft waves if the wind is right and I don't think it would perform well in my environment. The lift was super expensive, 40K, but it only takes a few seconds to deploy, has a remote and battery backup and has enough girth to lift a 36 out of the water if we get one in the future so there's that! LOL. The advantage with yours is that it doesn't care how much the boat weighs, so you will be fine getting at a larger boat in the future and using the same lift system. Again, you have no idea how much it means to hear that others are getting a benefit from my videos. If I get down that way, I will definitely look you up! If you get up this way, look me up! You won't need a b&b. Lol

Cool! You'll have to send a picture. That would be pretty. Do you like the way it works?

@@mikeh7256 Works great - I’m not too good with KZbin & can’t figure out how to post a photo back to your feed. Thoughts?

Thanks 👍

Thanks! I hope many will find them useful. I wish these were around when I bought ours! Lol Gotta love a mystery 😁

I'm working with Hull number 12 so mine is early in the construction as well. No real problems here. I think they kind of got it right, but there is absolutely no orientation from anyone so I hope this is helpful to others as well. Thanks for commenting.

@@mikeh7256 Do you have the swim platform or had they fixed that by hull 12? I went out to get tubing and weatherstripping material today to address the canopy/cocktail leak and the rear SpureShade water incursion. Thanks for those tips!

@@jeffreycarr835 they had discontinued the automated swim platform in 2020, so mine is literally exactly like the 2024s are made today. Does yours have the drains installed in the Sureshade cylinder shafts?

@@mikeh7256 It does - plus they installed 2 more near the rear of the Hard top - although I can’t see where they drain. I installed the clear tubing in the forward holes today, the flex seal tape dam and the weatherstripping (my gap is much smaller than yours) - thanks for the tips! Also I learned several things from your C-Zone video!

I would guess that it would. If you think about it, all lifts have the same kind of wiring

@@mikeh7256 the wired remote on vevor is yellow black white and aqua. Any clue which is which

@@chrisholt6136 no, but a quick call to the vendor might help. Also, you might check online for some manuals for the unit. A lot of times it will tell you what wire does what

What I would do is to take some wood and attach that to the steel posts and then attach the unistruts facing forward to those wood pieces. That will get to you exactly what I built

The trick is going to be stabilizing the platform with distribution of weight. Better plan carefully.

Truthfully, I don't remember. I did put the shopping list and the comments. That should give you what you need

Initially, I had to give up on the wiring so I broke down and hired an electrician to help so I didn't burn down the house. My wife would have never forgiven me! Lol Sounds like you're at that point...

my four cables are black, white, green and yellow.

I can only show what I bought and was able to figure out. I ended up sitting down next to the unit, attaching some wires and testing. That's probably my best recommendation to you. Best of luck!

@@mikeh7256ok thanks is it possible to get a picture of the wires in the black box attached to your hoist?
