O que este vídeo aborda

The refit of the sailboat Squib includes insulating the ceiling, installing a new battery bank for an electric outboard, and adding 230V outlets and LED lighting. To insulate the ceiling, the crew fills voids between plywood strips and the deck with spray foam before applying Armaflex insulation.▶ 0:18 The project requires trimming a spice rack to allow for window frame clearance and installing splash-proof 230V outlets in the cockpit and bathroom.▶ 13:40 For propulsion, the owner installs four 100Ah, 25.6V lithium batteries in a cockpit locker, providing 10kWh of capacity to power a 2.5kW electric outboard.▶ 5:50 This setup allows for four hours of full-throttle motoring or up to ten hours at 1kW, with solar panels providing supplemental charging.▶ 6:36 The crew plans to test the electric motor's viability as a diesel replacement during an upcoming voyage down the Danube River to the Black Sea and Greece.▶ 7:24
