O que este vídeo aborda
Solar panel wiring on the C&C 39 *Epiphany* was torn loose when the dinghy davit collapsed, pulling wires free from deck boxes and connectors along the support post. All batteries had fully discharged by the time repairs began.Watch Gordon reconnects the wiring in two stages: the main 275-watt panel set is restored first and confirmed producing power, then the remaining panels are sorted and reconnected.0:12 Two wires had pulled completely out of their MC4-style connectors and required makeshift repair — hemostats clamped onto the bare wire connections as a temporary fix because the confined space made soldering impractical. With all panels reconnected, the battery charger displays an ACR fault but the three battery banks begin cycling back online and voltage climbs. The 275-watt panels survived the davit collapse intact.0:22 Temporary wire connections held long enough to restore ship's power, with a proper solder repair deferred until the workspace becomes accessible.
