Ecotech Vectra M1 Power Supply replacement

Isaac Alves · May 9, 2016

Let's say as I was having my drama with the APEX unit mixed with my enthusiasm for being so close to finishing the first phase of this project -- that I maybe, possibly, misplaced, but definitely forgot to add the power supply for the M1.

Stupid mistake.

Can someone take a picture of the @EcoTech Marine Vectra M1 power supply so I can read the data info sticker on the adaptor? I'm wondering if I could find a cheaper version of the power supply that satisfies the same electrical requirements. Buying a replacement part, if I have too, is near $100 with shipping from @EcoTech Marine parts store.

It's been a rough weekend with the APEX unit burning out. But Neptune has been very responsive so far.

thank you ahead of time,
Isaac

Thank you so much @FrankAbagnale Is this a photo of the Ecotech unit or of a replacement part?

You bet! It's the Ecotech unit. I haven't set mine up yet so that was actually the first time I've pulled it out of the box.

Hey @isaacalves, did you every find a 3rd party power supply for the Vectra?

I think that's the same specs for the power on the L1. I got one on amazon for my L1.

Thanks

I've been using it for a couple months, with no problem. I started with a 32v, based on some bad advice...and it worked fine but eventually overheated and died. I figured if it did, I'd buy the correct (36v) piece. I probably should have done it sooner, because I could have caused a fire. If this links to my cart and won't show you anything, I'll post the description below. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07234PKF9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
