Have a new wheel house, hasnt seen ice , have it in my yard an getting to know it. we decided to cook supper in it last night,Ques. 1. firred up the furnace but had to hit the reset button on the furnace. I open valve, adjust thermostat, an hit reset on the furnace. I was told by dealer I have to open valve an set thermostat an good to go. Is it wired this way, not a hughe deal but not what I was told.
Ques. 2. Funace runs great, come to cook, cant seem to get pilot light to light, maybe air in line, but not for as long as ive tried to get it to light. We fired up top burner, an was cooking and after a few minuets, the furnace made a click an top burner flame staed to fluctuate up high an down low, an furnace had kicked off with that inital click an was blowing cold air.
Good freind an I tried to diagnose the prob by brainstorming, not pinched lines that I could see, tanks are full forties, I have only one line coming from one tank but its a duel set up, not double, just have to quick couple over to the other tank. COuld it be a presure problem on the regulater? theres a presure control adjustment right? My freind had to go, an he suggested to just try the stove an see what happens.
I turned off the furnace, lit all three burners on high an as i was trying to light pilot light again, all three burners drop to very low flame an stayed there. I shook my head an went inside an had a beer. Any Ideas be side taking back to the dealer an buying a lodge insead, any help would be great thank you.

I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought.
Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just
buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it.
I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.
Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to
get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius)
says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
