Just bought a 36 Nortech looking for help
 
I just bought a 36 Nortech supercat and am getting familiar with everything. Can anyone tell me what the two red plunger switches and one black mounted on either side of center console column are for? Also black lever is to switch steering or for ballast? Ive been told both. Its an 05. Thanks!!

A picture would be best to confirm.
the switches will be for the GPS speedo tattle tale and the intercom probably.
if you are talking about the lever right infront of the seat basically on the seat mount itself, that is for the ballast. there is a lever under the dash for the steering wheel.

Capt3915 08-01-2013 04:30 PM

Thanks for the reply. I will get a picture soon. The gps tell tale switch is further under the dash on the starboard side and rpm tach tell tale on the port side, further back on the sides down from the trim rocker switches are these red and black rubber push buttons that i dont know what they do. Ill get a pic soon thanks.

How do you add pics on here?

Outkast Rafe 08-02-2013 01:11 PM

find a 12 year old.

congrats and good luck with boat

Capt3915 09-17-2013 06:29 PM

The rubber plunger switches are on each side. One red on each side and a black one. Any ideas? It's above the ballast handle and out from under the dash where the GPS recall tach recalls and helm selector is.

U at the jetty on Sunday? Some guys coming back from bike week described the boat to me and said they were talking to you...

Capt3915 09-17-2013 07:41 PM

Yup that was me.

Spicy 09-17-2013 07:49 PM

Beautiful boat.... Saw it in KW at the island a year or so ago. Nice

Capt3915 09-17-2013 07:54 PM

Thanks, we'll have to hook up sometime. I just met the guy w the 43 this weekend who is from up your way.

Turbojack 09-17-2013 09:37 PM

Good looking boat. Does the boat lift have the same bunks setup as the trailer has?

Capt3915 09-17-2013 10:41 PM

I have it on flat bunks for now i was thinking it may be better long term to set up more like the trailer. Do you have experience with this? Is that why you asked?

If my last post appeared please disregard

I keep mine on lift during the summer and trailer during winter. The lift only has 2 bunks, where my trailer has the 2 bunks plus short board that catches the very back part of the sponsons. I was looking at the nortech and skater trailers and they all seem to have more the the 2 plain bunks.

I was looking at getting a 36 Nortech but I would have to back it in the slip at the marina I am staying and wondering if I have more then bunks how easy it would be to get it to set up on the lift.

The nortech has the rail inside the sponson i dont know what its called but its a horizontal step about 3 inches wide on the inner sides of both sponsons. Thats where the trailer supports it all the way fore and aft. My lift is just two 3x10's stacked two high for rigidity that the boat rests on.

The guy with the 43 use to belong to my buddy Danny that lives in Annapolis, I met him at Jellyfish Joels a year or so ago. I live on Turkey Point Island in Edgewater off the South River not the Turkey Point that is at the top of the Bay.
We are heading to Reckless Ricks in Pasadena tomorrow around 1PM... I don't know much about it but supposedly a fun run stop from a bunch of guys that are coming from top of the Bay?? I'm taking my Cigarette and have a buddy bringing his 36NT Cat to go there for lunch.
If you looking for something to do swing by.
Thanks Pat

Haha thats hilarious thanks for the help, next time somebody asks thats what ill say.

craigcaron 09-24-2013 10:03 PM

i have a 2004 36, with a red/black momentary switch on the drivers side. Behind (i guess in front of) the safety teathers. I, along with nortech, have no idea what it is for. Imagine that? Terry S doesn't know. No one seems to know. I'll try to attach a pic...

brian41 09-25-2013 06:16 AM

The 2004 3600 we are working on also has the "red buttons". They are hooked up to the head sets in some way but never did find out what they do.

Quinlan 09-25-2013 07:43 AM

Look like the "Push to talk" on my Cig Tiger intercom system. as in Tiger system Not Tiger Cig lol
