A Valiant 40 undergoes a shakedown cruise near La Paz, Mexico, to test engine performance, refrigeration systems, and instrumentation. Before departure, the crew performs a cold start on the Volvo 2003 T inboard engine, confirming oil pressure at 40 psi and alternator output at 14.10 volts.1:01 During the sea trial, the tachometer fails to register, and the speed-through-water paddle wheel requires manual cleaning to correct a 30% reading error.7:33 The crew tests the anchor in 26.8 feet of water, noting the need for a snubber on the windlass.7:51 A refrigeration fault code points to a failed compressor fan; the crew replaces the original Bisonic Technology Corp fan with a new brushless unit sourced from La Paz Cruiser Supply, successfully cooling the freezer.15:04 The vessel also features a recently upgraded three-burner Force 10 propane stove.17:21 The shakedown confirms the engine and refrigeration systems are operational despite minor electrical and sensor maintenance requirements.
