Tattooed sailor crimps cable beside windlass on Triteia
O que este vídeo aborda
Installing an electric windlass on an Alberg 30 requires significant deck preparation, including drilling and over-drilling holes to seal the core with thickened epoxy before final mounting.▶ 7:29 The installation process involves fabricating a custom mounting pad, routing heavy-gauge battery cables from the anchor locker to the main battery bank, and installing a deck-mounted foot switch.▶ 26:56 When selecting wire gauge, the project highlights a discrepancy in some manufacturer manuals between metric and American Wire Gauge (AWG) specifications, necessitating careful verification of current requirements for the specific cable run length.▶ 20:18 The project also requires crimping heavy-duty battery terminals, which is simplified by using a dedicated hydraulic crimping tool.▶ 21:04 After troubleshooting initial wiring polarity issues, the electric windlass successfully retrieves the anchor chain under load.▶ 30:02 While the unit provides electric retrieval, the manual override function may require disassembly and servicing if seized or damaged.▶ 15:04
