What this video covers

Damien and his crew install heavy-gauge electrical cabling through the engine room and battery room of their steel-hulled trawler, Brupeg.Watch The project requires routing 95mm² cables through a 4-meter-long, 3-inch stainless steel conduit containing three 90-degree bends.1:18 To manage the pull, the crew constructs a makeshift rolling rack for the cable drums and uses a fish line attached to hydraulically crimped terminals, reinforced with duct tape and liberal amounts of cable lubricant.5:40 Because the conduit lacks sufficient space for all required wiring, the team routes smaller DC power and autopilot cables through the pipe while running larger cables independently through waterproof plastic junction boxes and cable glands to maintain bulkhead integrity.2:15 The electrical system includes redundant Victron converters for the navigation suite, allowing the crew to switch power sources in the event of a failure.15:25 The installation concludes with P-clamping the cables along the engine room trays and floorboards to protect them from damage.16:34 Proper cable lubrication and redundant pull lines are essential for navigating tight, multi-bend conduit runs.
