Qué cubre este vídeo

Replacing a failed windlass on the sailboat *Aeronautical* involves removing the old unit, filling existing deck holes with epoxy and glass mat, and installing a new 1500-watt Lofrans Tigres windlass.0:27 The project requires drilling new mounting holes and installing a magnet in the gypsy to accommodate a remote chain counter sensor.12:03 Because the windlass motor case limits cable size, the installation uses 4 AWG wire from the control box to the motor, while retaining the existing 50mm² (1/0 AWG) cables for the 13-foot run from the battery bank.21:35 The host routes power and sensor cables through an existing conduit into the forward head, where the new control box is mounted to a reinforced plate.20:23 Additional upgrades performed concurrently include installing a new Balmar alternator with a serpentine kit, a voltage regulator, and new fuel lines for the diesel engine and genset.4:16 Testing confirms the windlass, remote control, and pedestal switches function correctly.30:29
