Catamaran Mistertong · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The captain of the catamaran Mistertong plans to replace a failing mechanical raw-water pump on the vessel's generator with an electric 12-volt pump.19:55 The current mechanical pump, driven by an accessory belt and pulley, suffers from persistent play in the pulley’s conical mounting axis, causing the assembly to loosen despite repeated repairs.19:55 The proposed solution involves bypassing the mechanical pump entirely and installing an electric pump downstream of the existing water filter, wired to a manual switch to ensure cooling flow whenever the generator runs.23:58 Separately, the crew addresses previous viewer feedback regarding the use of Dyneema for lifelines; the captain acknowledges that while Dyneema is susceptible to UV degradation, the current installation serves as a long-term test, and future iterations may incorporate heat-shrink tubing for a cleaner finish.19:20 The crew also navigates local logistics in Martinique, where civil unrest and road blockades have prompted crew member Loulou to join friends on a boat transit to Fort-de-France.25:07
