Ce que couvre cette vidéo

During a 1,300-nautical-mile shakedown passage from Panama to Fort Lauderdale, the crew of Jibsea experienced a recurring alternator failure caused by a misaligned bracket and an incorrect nut.8:11 The alternator belt repeatedly stretched and shed rubber dust due to the misalignment, which had worn down the engine's mounting surface and mangled the spacer washer.11:20 To maintain engine function for the final 300 nautical miles, the crew improvised a temporary fix by using a nut scavenged from the wind vane to secure the alternator and applying vice grips to prevent the bolt from backing out.9:41 The crew monitored the engine hourly for belt dust and heat while navigating the Gulf Stream and heavy shipping traffic near Cuba.10:34 Upon arrival in Fort Lauderdale, the vessel successfully anchored after a 10-day transit.15:57 The experience highlighted the necessity of thorough mechanical inspections when commissioning a new boat, as the crew successfully completed the passage by relying on self-performed repairs rather than professional surveys.17:33
