Qué cubre este vídeo

The owner of the 1987 Warrior 38 *Athena* replaces a failing 12-volt Hella fan with a Caframo Ultimate 757 while anchored in Prickly Bay, Grenada.2:44 The Caframo unit draws approximately 0.46 amps on high compared to the Hella’s 0.26 amps, but provides noticeably higher airflow and features a design easier to clean of galley grease.9:43 Both fans require custom drilling through the base for clean cable management.8:44 Separately, the crew attempts to improve the mechanical advantage of their dinghy arch, which lifts a Zodiac Cadet 270 aluminum RIB.11:29 Upgrading from a 2:1 to a 4:1 purchase using triple and double blocks reduces the physical effort required to raise the dinghy, though poor lead angles currently cause line friction.12:47 The owner plans to source larger blocks to correct the alignment.15:36 Additionally, the crew reports a stalled warranty claim with Fisher Panda regarding their generator and deems a $1,900 quote for a custom stainless steel swim platform frame too expensive for the local market.15:57
