Cosa tratta questo video

Andy installs a full Victron electrical suite into the V-berth of a 1970 Westwind Paceship 24, a 24-foot sailboat undergoing a complete refit.2:37 The system includes two 300-amp-hour Epic batteries and a Victron inverter-charger.3:20 To verify the layout in the confined space, he builds a physical mock-up using OSB templates to represent the battery bank and inverter footprints.3:59 The V-berth area measures approximately 6.5 feet in length and beam.4:26 Because the inverter-charger requires four inches of clearance on all sides for cooling, vertical mounting on the knee walls proved impossible.9:32 Andy decides to mount the unit horizontally in the center trunk area.10:00 To mitigate heat buildup from horizontal mounting, he plans to use a Victron Cerbo to trigger two DC computer fans, which will circulate air through the compartment and out a stainless louver.11:48 Accessory components, including the shunt and distributor, will mount on the outboard side of the knee walls behind removable access panels.13:59
