Hva denne videoen dekker

A second lightning strike on Namasté, a Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40, burned out the two remaining solar panels that had survived the first strike, forcing Max to choose between buying a shore-power inlet plus shore charger (€1,000 combined) or replacing the panels.0:16 He chose two 300-watt panels (totaling 600 W) with a 35-amp MPPT controller for roughly €600, splitting them across two MPPT regulators.0:33 After installation both panels charged immediately — 90 W and 96 W respectively with the battery reading 14 volts.2:06 All USB outlets aboard had also failed; a blown fuse was the cause, and replacing it and a dead USB socket restored charging throughout the boat.2:29 With the boat laid up in port for several months, Max and Claire also removed and stowed the genoa and mainsail to protect them from humidity and sun.5:00 Water infiltration through deck fittings had rotted a ceiling panel and soaked insulation foam; Max sealed the screw holes with sealant, applied gelcoat over the repairs, resealed and revarnished the handrails, and replaced the damaged 3 mm plywood headliner panel.7:34 Sealing deck penetrations before reinstalling handrails is the critical step to stopping recurring interior water ingress.9:54
