What this video covers

Sven Yrvind installs a cooling fan system in his boat to manage cabin temperatures using the windchill factor.▶ 3:15 He wires three fan leads to two battery power leads, utilising red, blue, and black connectors to manage the electrical connections.▶ 4:45 To strip the insulation from the tiny wires without damaging the copper strands, he uses a knife to carefully pull the casing off.▶ 1:06 He secures the connections using ring terminals and a crimping tool, then applies two layers of heat-shrink tubing—a thin inner layer and a thicker outer layer—to ensure the joints remain insulated and protected from heat.▶ 0:17 The fans are positioned directly above his bunk to blow air onto his body, which he identifies as a more effective cooling method than circulating outside air.▶ 2:59 Additionally, he reports that a visa application issue has caused a delay in his travel plans.▶ 3:25
