O que este vídeo aborda
Matt and Jessica install two Force Bar Pro seacocks and run electrical conduit through the structural bulkheads of their catamaran. To ensure independent water intake for a hybrid motor and an air conditioning system, they drill two separate through-hull openings in the engine bed area.0:24 They create recessed mounting pockets by wrapping the seacocks in tape to add thickness, glassing over them to create a mold, and fairing the resulting cavities.4:55
In the forward lazarette, the crew installs a 3-inch diameter, fire-resistant fiberglass tube to serve as a conduit for electrical and communication wiring.13:08 They select fiberglass over traditional conduit for its rigidity and smooth interior, which facilitates pulling long wire runs.13:16 Matt grinds the surrounding bulkhead paint to bare fiberglass and bonds the tube into place using Total Boat thickened resin and 12-ounce double-bias fiberglass cloth.15:37 This installation maintains the structural integrity of the mast-supporting bulkheads while providing a protected, organized pathway for 110-volt, 48-volt, 12-volt, and NEMA 2000 cables.18:59
