What this video covers

The owners of an all-electric sailboat install a 32-amp AC shore power system and an 8-kilowatt Victron MultiPlus II inverter-charger to support an induction cooktop and electric oven.▶ 8:36 The system design includes a galvanic isolator to prevent corrosion from potentially faulty marina wiring and a 32-amp shore power inlet.▶ 2:48 To maintain vessel trim, the heavy inverter is mounted in a hanging locker on the side of the boat opposite the galley, balancing the weight of the stove and refrigeration units.▶ 12:17 The installation requires custom-welded 90-degree steel brackets and threaded inserts to secure the 42-kilogram unit to the locker bulkhead.▶ 16:29 While the inverter is successfully mounted, the final wiring of the AC distribution panel remains pending due to a delay in the delivery of tinned AC cabling.▶ 20:44 The owners plan to utilise solar arrays and propeller-driven regeneration for primary power, reserving shore power for extended winter stays in marinas.▶ 1:10
