Warren installs a Sine Marine monitor and switch panel consolidation system aboard WEsail's boat while anchored in Fiji, replacing the existing Pico model and a separate switch bank with a single integrated unit housed behind a new carbon fiber dash built in New Zealand.2:50 The wiring job — on a boat originally wired by Fontaine Pajot — consumes most of the project time: labeling, reorganizing, and rerouting dozens of circuits before the new panel can go in.4:34 After Warren declares the job complete, a power distribution block fails, shutting the system down entirely; Sine Marine ships a replacement, forcing a multi-week wait for parts.11:05 Solar production meanwhile peaks near 96 amps, and the boat has run neither its generator nor its watermaker for close to a year, relying on Fiji's sun and rain.1:09 While waiting, Erica and Warren explore by dinghy, snorkeling reefs with blacktip sharks — one trailing a fishing line — and landing on two islands.11:20 One island turns out to require prior permission from the local chief and a sevusevu ceremony, so they leave without it.17:12 Warren climbs a palm tree to cut coconuts.22:55 The project confirms that even a near-complete electrical overhaul can fail at the final step, and that a replacement part is the only fix when a distribution block goes bad.
