microcat fm convertion
Burnt Chips:
Ive just acquired off fleabay a microcat, i got it cheap as it allegedly had a growl jet, also got a replacement rule pump with it. (cant tell if Mk1 or Mk2) upon splitting i seen its been opened before, by a 1 armed man with a boxing glove on. most of the joint trim points had been sliced out when it was done before, a split was also found under some black silicone in the center pontoon. again it was cheap enough to repair the cosmetic damage and i will seal the center pontoon off from the rest of the boat with foam or something before i close it.
Now the help i need, how i go about converting to 2.4Hz, and also i fitted a lucky f918 fishfinder (thishas a input between 10v and 20v) now the battery's are 6v ,so i cant direct wire it to them.
but somewhere in the boat they jigged the power as the motors are 12v
also the battery's are lead acid, why cant i fit nicked/lithe ion is there something i missed in translation :)
Tug-Kenny RIP:
The type of battery does not matter. It's the voltage that is required.
If you convert to 2.4 and a decent speed controller then you will have a good set up. I would run it on 12 volts as this will supply all your needs.

How would i setup a speed controller to run the 4 sump pumps ?
Tug-Kenny RIP:
You could use electronic switches where a push on the radio transmitter control arm to the left or the right will activate.

You will need an ACTion P94 speed controller as it is a dual one with a mixer inside it.....I have converted quite a few of these for carp Anglers There is a wiring Diagram on the ACTion website.
ALL ACTion gear is available through Component shop - http://www.componentshop.co.uk/
