Definately need both. Its snowing here so no update yet. I am a little confused, as they sent me the 24 V. I dont think my boat has 2 batteries hooked in series so I would need 12 V. I may need to ship these back for the 12 V part.

Anxiously awaiting. I was wondering about the 24V also. I played with my arch a weekend ago. It has a spring loaded something that holds it up when the knobs are loose, you physically have to pull it down, That may be an advantage as the actuators are not really lowering the entire weight, just the sprung/unsprung load.

Here is the Official parts list. Everything arrove today.

410171 SWITCH,2 POSITION -- qty 1

410198 BOOT,TOGGLE --qty 1

410726 BREAKER,5 AMP,WH/BUTN. – Qty 2

414014 SWITCH,M/BOX DP DT ROCKER—Qty 1

414441 KIT,MOTOR,ELECTRIC DAGGER –qty 1 (see
My prior post though. I may not have the complete kit; but Samson sent me this directly - 2 Lenco actuators for a very affordable price. I believe the kit likely has some other parts besides the 2 actuators - so I will need to clarify this with cobalt.

414602 PIGTAIL,ARCH SWITCH –qty 1

414603 PIGTAIL,ARCH,POWER SWITCH – qty 1

414704 HARNESS,ELECTRIC,ARCH— qty 1

502101BL PANEL,ARCH,ELECTRIC -- qty 1

503009BL PANEL,ARCH,POWER – qty 1

Total cost was $300 or thereabouts from cobalt plus the dagger motor kit (quoted from cobalt for additional $1600). Samson actuators cost me much less ($225 each).

Are those Cobalt part numbers, and will they sell them to you even though they are not original equipment for you? Or are they gonna wonder why the electric arch has been repaired on the same boat 17 times? :o
