Mads builds a custom 9 kW diesel generator for the sailboat Athena using a 0.5-liter, two-cylinder Perkins 402 engine paired with a 9.5 kVA two-pole brushed alternator.0:25 By opting for a belt-driven configuration rather than a flexible shaft coupling, the setup allows for easier alignment and adjustable gearing to optimize engine RPM.1:17 Testing confirms the engine maintains stable RPM under load, suggesting the mechanical governor is sufficient without an electronic controller.11:15 The project requires a 28mm taper lock for the pulley and a remote oil filter relocation.12:10 Separately, Mads fabricates a 6mm MDF template for a compact laminate vanity countertop in the head, using a manufacturer-provided sink template to ensure precise fitment.6:32 He also prepares to rebuild the steering pedestal on Athena, replacing a corroded aluminum component with a new stainless steel part.15:26 The generator will eventually power high-draw appliances including an induction cooktop, electric oven, dive compressor, and water maker.13:26
