Upgrade to Electric folding arch R3

[Chrispval]

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.

Got ya. I thought I saw that in the spec sheet you sent. Let's see what lenco says.

Still work in process. Lots of road blocks though. He will explain. Once he or we can figure this out it will be big I think. So shhhh till we do.

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.

We really need someone with the electric one already to help out with some parts id.

Being told that cobalt shut down for inventory. They reopen next week and I should have the parts to finally start this project

Here is the Official parts list. Everything arrove today.

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).

Awesome so where the 24v actuators correct?

[CaptBob]

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?

Yes as far as I can tell my battery bank is wired in series.
