What this video covers

Jacob installs a Victron MultiPlus inverter system in the piloting berth of his boat while anchored in Muros, Spain.2:54 The project aims to provide 230-volt power to three outlets located in the nav station, the galley, and the saloon for charging camera batteries and running laptop equipment.4:02 The installation involves mounting the inverter, a safety switch, and a distributor box on the side of the piloting berth, then routing electrical cables through the engine room and battery compartment to the designated outlets.5:06 The work takes place over two days during a period of heavy rain and cold weather.2:19 Although the inverter and all three power outlets are successfully mounted and wired, the final step—installing an RCD switch—remains incomplete due to a lack of available parts in Muros.10:04 The system remains disconnected from the batteries until the switch can be sourced.10:15
