Join me, Sailor Smurf, as I venture into the world of marine professionals! The Yacht Rigger has allowed me to trip, stumble, and fumble my way through their boatyard as I journey into the world of marine pros. I hope you join me as I seek to learn everything I can from them.

    Hi. When you adjust the length, what is locking the line? The adjustment mechanism?

    Correct. The splice acts like a “finger trap” type device. Solid.

    Obviously the customer already purchased the main unit. maybe this size of boat this unit is sufficient for usefulness, and space. On a larger boat, or yacht, (175-499 gross tons)if space, or money is no option, which brand, or unit would you choose on your boat ?

    The problem with those units is the affordability. My a/c broke down and a brand new unit is like $1500 Man… And the weather is going crazy, just today it was at 105 degrees f. My sleeping cabin is like a floating sauna 🧖 Does anyone know any affordable place where I could get my old unit fixed in South Florida?

    Man, you really had me there for a good few minutes, I thought you were going up the dead end! It might be worth mentioning to people to never ascend a mast on a knot or line you (or someone you trust with your life) didn't tie or inspect beforehand. Another life saving trick people need to know is how to at least use a Prusik or Klemmheist as a back-up in case of mishaps. There's nothing like going up the mast and feeling totally comfortable knowing you will be safe because you eliminated those pesky unknown variables beforehand.

    In going thru the Zeus Regulator instructions it appears that a number of fuses are required. I did not note any in this video. This would negate the connecting of the power wires as the fuses are of different amp sizes. Just received a Arco A275 to go with a Zeus purchased a couple months ago. We look forward to a video on this setup as it is a July project.

  • @FrankTheYachtRigger
    @FrankTheYachtRigger3 ай бұрын

    That would be the Scanstrut DS-Multi. The 10/2 AWG wires are stripped back out of their sheath before passing through the DS-Multi individually, so, a total of 6 holes in the DS-Multi gland.

    Oh my…a monohull! Very informative. Loved the tip on the pvc board. Could you get the numbers on the panels and run down how the 100/50’s were chosen over a 100/30 MPPT? Do the bifacials increase the current that much over the rated 480watts of the front side?

  • @FrankTheYachtRigger
    @FrankTheYachtRigger3 ай бұрын

    Those are Q-Cell 480W bifacial panels. A 100/30 MPPT would be undersized on this 12V system. Looking at this client's VRM data remotely for today, one of the panels hit a max power output of 584W... so yeah! It happens frequently that they exceed their 480W rating (at least once a week for them it looks like in their data), but it usually doesn't last for long as they heat up and reduce their output. Most commonly that happens mid-day right after a rain shower if you get bright clear skies.

  • @jimduke5545
    @jimduke55453 ай бұрын

    @@FrankTheYachtRigger that’s awesome. I guessed the Q cell (480w) and I think undersizing, in any case, will let them get as much amps as they can when the sun is shining and the dinghy and water are reflecting. (Confession: I work so much in 24v that I didn’t think it through before I asked. New rule: coffee first on Sunday morning!)
