While anchored in Port Denarau, Fiji, the crew of a cruising sailboat experiences an electrical fire smell and discovers a failed alternator.2:58 After initial troubleshooting and a failed attempt to find local repair services, they locate a technician in a nearby town who replaces a broken internal copper filament.8:57 Upon reinstalling the unit, the system still fails to charge the batteries.11:05 Further inspection reveals the actual culprit is a corroded and broken positive cable leading from the alternator.11:30 The crew repairs the connection using a crimp connector and heat-shrink tubing, successfully restoring the charging system.12:21 During the same maintenance period, they replace a ruptured diaphragm in the manual cockpit bilge pump using a spare part carried on board.13:44 Following these repairs, the crew provisions in Nadi for a 1,700-nautical-mile passage to Australia.15:49 Checking the wiring and cable integrity before assuming an alternator is dead can save significant time and repair costs.
