Gone with the Wynns · vídeo

O que este vídeo aborda

Persistent stray current on a new catamaran caused severe galvanic corrosion, forcing the owners to pause their sailing plans and leave the vessel at a dock for extensive warranty repairs.8:09 The corrosion manifested as rapid consumption of engine anodes, aggressive rusting on hardware, and pitting on the anchor and chain.8:28 Despite factory-authorized technicians identifying the engine as the source of the stray current, the issue remained unresolved after months of troubleshooting.14:03 The owners also experienced a 12-volt AGM battery overcharging event while motoring, which they attributed to a factory-installed "dumb" alternator and complex DC-to-DC charging integration.4:24 Additionally, the vessel’s solar panels suffered from progressive delamination and bubbling.3:03 To manage the stress of ongoing warranty disputes and the inability to safely head to sea, the owners temporarily abandoned the boat to travel in the Netherlands and Belgium.15:34 They continue to research marine electrical systems and coordinate with the manufacturer to reach a permanent solution for the electrical and corrosion damage.18:55
