The crew of *Supernova* performs extensive maintenance and upgrades while docked in a marina, including replacing a leaking water pump and installing a new lithium iron phosphate battery bank. The 24-volt, 230-amp-hour lithium batteries total 400 kilograms and require multiple trips to transport from the dock to the boat.7:19 To manage the weight and tide, the crew uses an electric winch to pull the vessel close to the wall.4:21 The leaking water pump is temporarily bypassed by placing it in a bin to catch drips until a replacement arrives.7:58

The crew also modifies their solar panel installation plan after receiving viewer feedback regarding boom clearance and sail access.9:37 They fabricate and weld stainless steel mounts for the panels, adhering to strict fire-watch protocols required by the marina.13:11 Professional sailmakers install the mainsail and headsail, a task that requires removing the solar panels to prevent damage.19:53 The crew identifies a broken zipper on the sail cover and plans to repair it rather than replace the entire assembly.23:38
