Alison and John replace emergency binnacle wiring on their Bavaria Yachts 36, Nova Vita, using WAGO lever-nut connectors purchased at a Leroy Merlin in Ponta Delgada, Azores.4:46 The original wiring had been jury-rigged during an east-to-west Atlantic crossing when the instruments failed mid-passage; the WAGO connectors are the permanent fix.0:26 The repair involves separating positive and negative blocks, identifying the power-supply cable (household-grade wire already fitted when they bought the boat), and clipping each wire into the appropriate connector — a process that takes roughly five minutes.1:49 The connectors are transparent, letting the installer see the wire seat correctly.4:07 After reconnecting, all instruments come back online: depth, wind, GPS, and targets.7:04 Cost: €4.39 for a five-pack of five-way connectors and €5.49 for a ten-pack of two-way connectors.12:33 The custom binnacle cover plate is perspex, cut to fit after the original Bavaria plate couldn't accommodate the instrument layout, sealed with self-adhesive neoprene.10:09 Moisture protection for the connectors remains a pending step — a bag or balloon over the block.8:47 Nova Vita has covered 10,000 miles since April 2024, departing from Logs, sailing to the Hebrides, completing an Atlantic circuit, and arriving in Ponta Delgada in mid-July.11:34
