I've been working on this video for the past several weeks. LaZina got it all edited and published this morning.
How your electrical works on the boat and what you can expect from the factory installation.
This is based on a stock configuration, before any upgrades. The electrical systems between the various model Ranger Tugs and Cutwater boats are actually very similar in design. This video illustrates the RT27-OB, but the concepts apply to the other models of boats as well (NW Edition models).
Since I re-wired and upgraded Channel Surfing to LFP, I had to fully understand how the NW edition functioned. Over the past year and a half I've done a ton of trial and error to best understand what I can expect from the electrical onboard.
In this video, I review the battery charger, solar charger, ACR's, engine charging, the inverter, and how they all operate together.

The next video I'm working on is a review of the electrical system on an RT27-OB Luxury edition with Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (LFP). This one will apply to both RT and Cutwater outboard boats with LFP as it's the exact same electrical system for LFP.
The third video in this series will be how and why I converted Channel Surfing from the NW edition with AGM batteries to LFP.
