Lots of upgrades new Garmin Electronics, new bow thruster, approx 765 hrs on twin Cummins. $198,900 Call Gary@ 203-812-0747

can anyone explain the how the battery isolators on a 2900 open work?.    Under the stairway I have two isolators, assume one for each engine.  They all seem to be cabled together.    The alternator on the starboard side isnt outputing a charge,per the analog gauge. I  Had the altenator tested and it is good,   When both engines are running it  seems at least one alternator is chargng both battery banks.   can one of the isolators go bad?   if this sounds confusing it is because I am confused.  Any help would be appreciated

I’ve got good pressure in all my other sinks and the shower except for this faucet in the galley. I’ve pulled the little filter off that sits right in the faucet and cleaned it to no avail. Also with the filter out and the sink on there still is not much pressure. This is a hansgrohe faucet on a 39 coronet.

I’ve got all kinds of fun electrical problems it seems. First off, the radar is giving me an error code 6 alert as soon as the battery switches are powered on. This is a Garmin system (exact model unknown), that had to be taken off the boat for shipping purposes when I purchased it. When the radar went back up, it gave me these errors right from the start and it was an electronics guy that re-installed it for me after shipment. Where can I start with this one? I don’t know alot of details but I need to poke around before purchasing a new system (which is what 2 electronics guys have told me I need). 

The auto pilot is another issue. I get “hydraulic pump overload” and “ECU circuit overload issues” at separate times and the unit will not hold a course. I’ve also been told this needs a new system. 

A bigger issue is that new systems won’t work with my current chartplotters, so I’d have to upgrade those as well. Yikes. 

I want to see if there are some things I can try to do on my own in order to possibly salvage this equipment. I don’t know a ton about these electronics but I’ll be damned if I’m going to just fork over $20k plus right away to replace everything, so I’ll be diligent in my efforts here.

Does anyone know if I can just use hardware store keys to make ignition key duplicates?
Do I need to purchase special?

1995 Tiara 33 open

I am getting an odor coming from my a/c unit, has anyone experienced this? If so, any suggestions on who to correct the issue?

Hello there,

Thanks for letting me join the forum. I live in Michigan and have been boating on the great lakes - mainly fishing - for a very long time. My home port is in SW corner of Lake Erie. I always admired Tiaras and promised myself that I would buy one closer to retirement to be able to really enjoy the boat and spent more time on it. I have been looking for a 3200 Open Sportfish for many years but couldn't find one and finally settled for an Open with twin 8.1L Crusaders. She is real beaut ! I'll take delivery in a few weeks and after want to upgrade the boat for fishing. I hope to find people in this forum that have done the same and can help me find the right equipment and to find advise when needed. I will of course reciprocate as soon as I am a proficient owner and will be myself in a position to contribute to this forum.

Hallo,
this is a new Tiara 42 open (2006) italian owner...and very glad to have joined this forum.
I have bought this boat both for fishing and for family cruising and - as you can imagine - tender is becoming an issue for the cruising time and approaching soon. Currently I have no tender but I am considering a light inflatable 230 (90 in) soft keel with a small 4 hp...total weight should not exceed 125 pounds. My platform instead is only 27,5 in and 8 in from the top edge to the water...

Here in Italy we don't have many davits systems and I came across these 2 us systems, which seemed to me the most commonly used in US, the Hurley H20 and the Dinghyramp HDplus.

My question is concerning safety in use, especially in rough conditions. Even in plane the boat is quite leaning back and I am just concerned that waves might hit the tender causing the loss or damages... 

Any suggestion on which to use and any previous experience?...price seems a bit high..but if it works fine I will go for it.

This would really help me in this choice...my holiday break is approaching and my wife and son will make my life easier with a tender 

Many thanks in advance

Alex

I'm under contract on a 2001 3500 Express.  I'm looking to scope the cost to add an autopilot (that the boat does not currently have).  In order to start that scoping, I need to know the volume (in3) in the steering cylinder so I can size the pump.  Anyone know the steering cylinder size on a 2001 3500 Express?   Yes, I can and will eventually call Tiara customer service, but does anyone here already know this info?
