Group Buy LECTROTAB – Yamaha Group Buy - Now Through Oct 2020!

Just be aware of the wire sizing/length vs. ampacity of the circuit. Most circuits can be a 10% voltage drop, but other circuits, amps etc. may require a 3% voltage drop. The length of run for a guage is both the positive and ground loop combined.





So so feeding a total of 25' out and back from/to the battery is ok for a 10% V drop with a run of 6ga. and 100a.

Not a bad idea to put a 60 amp circuit breaker back in the battery compartment on that 6ga. Main Buss.

Ya, you definitly want a circuit breaker at the battery. I put a 100a C.B. at the battery and fed the Blue Sea 6-ckt +/- fuse panel with 6ga., but I mounted mine in the head/storage locker on the port side, carpet covered plywood aft bulkhead. A much shorter run than the starboard side. I have my vhf and fishfinder directly above on the dash. When I added trim tabs and an amp later to the helm, it was an easy, short run across the ski locker ceiling and into the helm for the power/ground feeds.

I did not fill the panel to it's amperage limit.



Across the top of the ski locker.



Also remember that a circuit breaker is designed to trip at 80% it's current rating.

Anyone know if there plans of a March-ish group buy like there was in 2020? I wasn’t able to get my order in last fall and have been kicking myself about it since.

 

[blamphere]

I would love to get a set too if we do end up with a group buy

 

[HangOutdoors]

Yes I would buy now as well. I didn't get them last year.

I spoke with Russ at LectroTab this week and after mentioning the forum he was willing to give me a 45% break off of MSRP - I plan to order next week!

I created an install guide with pictures and full write up within the thread above.

I ordered mine yesterday, he gave me the same discount.

Which controller did you get? I'm debating MLC vs SLC still.

 

[HangOutdoors]

Slc-11

Slc-11

What drove you to that vs the MLC? (I am not considering the automatic ALC at this point)

 

[vesder21]

For the ALC-1 Auto Leveling control, does this have to be tied into the GPS or NMEA? I have a Simrad GO9 so wondering if it can be connected to this unit.

Also, how many hours is it taking you guys to install? I called around and dealers are quoting 3-4 hours. does that seems high or inline?

I liked the control panel and how it functions over the MLC, and after a discussion with Russ the SLC seemed like the fit and its their newer model I guess. For the ALC, I didn't feel I needed it for the extra dough. Most of the time they will be fully retracted until I need them. I boat in both the great lakes and a lot of inland lakes. I wanted them to smooth out the nasty chop that I run into. Plus the price is almost $500 difference. That is another Lithium battery or half the cost of my chartplotter. Seemed prudent to just do the Manual with the SLC controller, for me, imho.

 

[LakeTravisBear]

What size did y’all get for the 2019 AR190? These look way to big for my boat? The only place they will fit is under the scupper, don’t they need to be farther out towards the edge?

 

[TimW451]

I don’t have a 190, but I think you want to put them where I marked in red. Are they too big for there? If so, you should call Lectrotab to discuss.

 

[Dixemon]

Has anyone tried planning out with tabs installed on one motor?

Yes, works very well, I posted short vids somewhere.
