What this video covers

Tomas and Agus install a Remoran Wave 3 hydrogenerator on their Bavaria sailboat to increase electrical autonomy during offshore passages.0:53 The installation requires mounting the turbine bracket to the transom, which necessitates custom wooden spacers to clear the hull’s molded lip.2:21 After drilling the fiberglass, the crew seals the mounting holes with Butyl Tape to prevent water ingress.4:20 The electrical installation involves routing a 20mm power cable from the stern to a charge controller, which is mounted in the aft lazarette, and installing a 40-amp fuse on the positive line before connecting to the battery bank.7:33 The system integrates with existing solar and alternator charging setups by feeding into a common bus bar.8:54 During sea trials, the unit produces 5 to 6 amps at 4 knots of boat speed and up to 17 amps at 7 knots.12:44 The Remoran mobile app provides real-time data on current, voltage, and turbine RPM.13:11 The hydrogenerator operates silently, providing a consistent power source for the autopilot, refrigeration, and navigation electronics while underway.13:37
