Mads performs three maintenance tasks on the 1987 Warrior 38 *Athena* while preparing for an extended period at anchor.0:43 He replaces a damaged, tilting bow roller assembly with a custom-machined, fixed 12-millimeter rod designed to accommodate 10-millimeter chain.2:11 During the installation, he discovers an ant infestation in the chain locker, which he clears by rinsing the chain.4:10 He also replaces a large, hull-mounted zinc anode on the starboard side.5:30 Finally, he converts the Starlink system to DC power to reduce inverter reliance.8:00 He uses a Dishy Dually PoE injector and a Yao Sheng adapter to connect the Starlink dish to a PepWave Max BR1 Pro 4G router, allowing for both satellite and cellular internet connectivity.8:18 He wires both components directly to the boat’s 24-volt distribution panel, adding dedicated breakers for independent control.14:28 The project concludes with a plan to seal a water-damaged galley sub-countertop with epoxy.15:27 Using a custom PoE injector and a DC-to-DC converter allows for efficient, inverter-free Starlink operation on a 24-volt system.
