What this video covers
Tomas and Agus install a Remoran Wave 3 hydrogenerator on their Bavaria sailboat to increase electrical autonomy during offshore passages.▶ 0:53 The installation requires mounting the turbine bracket to the transom, which necessitates custom wooden spacers to clear the hull’s molded lip.▶ 2:21 After drilling the fiberglass, the crew seals the mounting holes with Butyl Tape to prevent water ingress.▶ 4:25 The electrical installation involves routing a 20mm power cable from the stern to a charge controller, which is mounted in the aft lazarette, and installing a 40-amp fuse on the positive line before connecting to the battery bank.▶ 7:19 The system integrates with existing solar and alternator charging setups by feeding into a common bus bar.▶ 8:53 During sea trials, the unit produces 5 to 6 amps at 4 knots of boat speed and up to 17 amps at 7 knots.▶ 12:24 The Remoran mobile app provides real-time data on current, voltage, and turbine RPM.▶ 13:11 The hydrogenerator operates silently, providing a consistent power source for the autopilot, refrigeration, and navigation electronics while underway.▶ 13:09
