Aqua Therapy 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2020 Greetings all, I just took possession of a 1999 Monterey 242 Cruiser. Love the boat. Does anyone know where I can find the manuals for each of the onboard Systems? ie. Battery charger, Shore Power usage, Circuit breaker panel, refrigerator, stove, and inverter? I am trying to figure out how everything is power and operates while running and while docked. Thanks Todd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GetAway 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2020 I have the 2000 242. I went online and searched each of the items such as the battery charger, the fridge, water heater, any item I could not find an info tag on. Mine came with a 20 amp charger that I had to replace. I went with another 20 amp but if I had it to do all over again, I'd go with the 30 amp unit. I can't remember the name of the charger but it starts with a C. There are many different units out there so it's your choice. All of the pumps have info tags on them so that's easy. I don't have an inverter. The stove has an info tag on it but mine doesn't work very well. When you want a lot of heat and select high or mid-high the unit shuts off, cools a little then restarts. I use portable propane stove(s). One is a 2 burner and 2 others are single burner. I also have a bar-b-que. Installed the bar-b-que's base that holds the post that holds the unit in the swim step's storage area. It sits between where a couple of step space is so I can keep the step onboard and use the cooker or I could have the step in the water. The smoke is blown away from the boat by the wind/breeze that comes from the bow to aft. I had to pull the fridge out to get all of the info and to see how much free space is there to store things but there's not much at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
