12V is not enough! Converting our wooden sailboat to 24V (DIY restoration) - Sailing Yabá 175

[@SailingYaba]

Welcome to Day 7 of our daily series towards launching Yabá! Working with electrics has become a new passion around here and we really hope you enjoy watching the process of transforming Yabá from 12V to 24V and connecting all the appliances to the "new" control panel. Let us know your thoughts!

The experience you are getting with the electrical system of your boat is going to be so incredibly useful in the future when you need to trouble shoot or upgrade! Well done MP!

[@bkvdpw]

MP, it's nice to see you back in the fray and I'm happy to see your recovery is apparently going well. I think it's great you're willing to step up and learn the parts that have historically been "guy's" work. Well done!!

[@chrischrysan]

Great job MP!

[@edwardstarrett5545]

Mp's victories feel like I helped run wires! 😂 Man, stoked to see her splash!

[@cattaraugustonawanda4426]

Good work MP ! Both my father and grandfather were master electricians. I wasn't an electrician but knowledge gained from them as been useful. Great that your Dad is helping you and you learn in the process. Keep up the good work.

[@DavidPruittTV]

As an electrician, it brings me joy to see you working with your father to learn our trade. Good Job MP! ❤

Welcome back MP, missed you. Converting the cabin control box from 12 to 24 V. Using shore power and a step diwn inverter to test.

[@artzi67]

It was so happy to see Happy MP.

[@simsjef]

MP, when I saw you in the apt with that electrical panel and you indicated where to start. I had the queasy feeling in my stomach when Ben drilled a 2” hole through a perfectly good hull. Then after realizing the complexity of the panel, I realized you were going to give a new meaning to how one eats an elephant, one bite at a time. You attached the panel one wire at a time and did such a great job. What perseverance you have. Again Ben, thanks for you and MP doing the camera and editing work to show each day to splash down. You guys are making life time viewers out of us.

[@Scablifter01]

Good to see you up and about MP, take your time to get better, your going to need all your strength for the sailing adventures ahead !

[@mwatkins2464]

What was wrong with her??

[@Scablifter01]

@@mwatkins2464 Hi, not sure Ben mentioned she wasn’t feeling her best but she would let us know if and when she wanted to. She’s looking like herself when she did the 24 volt episode on day 7. Take care

Hi MP, hope your felling better. Great to see you sorting out the dashboard, you are going to need it soon. 👍👍

[@knittiotsavant]

I so respect MP for handling the engine and electronics. I’m from a generation in which women didn’t commonly learn about those things and I’d be completely intimidated by both. Well done MP!

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much!!

[@MichaelTodd-b2q]

Keep on keeping on😊

[@davedawson4830]

Hi MP, I had wondered where you were. Of course I'm curious as to your ailment, but mostly I want you to know that your fans are thinking of you. And this episode was reassuring, so thanks. Take best care of yourself. Besides the above, I was happy to watch you have such fun wiring that very important panel and hearing you say so. Cheers from Vancouver

Amazing work Mp. With the 4 batteries, a 13kW (nominal) system will be so nice. Watching these daily uploads brings such joy to my heart.

[@alanmcinnes1111]

Congratulations, MP! It is wonderful to see you embrace the challenge of rewiring Yaba. You are not only building new skills, but you will have the confidence to troubleshoot any electrical issues that arise down the road. Thanks as well for showing my granddaughter that women can take on any area that was traditionally assumed to be done by men. I’m so grateful that you and Ben are sharing your exciting adventure.

Question. Did all the lightbulbs including control panel need to be changed out. Sparky im not!!

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Not a sparky either. Stuck a nail into a wall socket when I was 4 years old. Knocked me across my grandmothers kitchen. I remember it like it was yesterday. I steer clear of everything electrical.

It’s great that you are learning how to do all of the wiring and have your father there to help and instruct you. Make sure that before he goes, he teaches you the best way to troubleshoot any wiring problems that might arise as it will just be you and Ben on your trips. Keep up the good work, glad to see you back on camera!

Your dad MP is so good with the electrics, indeed this has saved you so much money.

[@markscheurich2196]

Nice work MP! Small suggestion, label those wires with a tag so in the future if you need to trace a wire you can find it easier, might take a little more time but if you need to find something like the pump wires quickly, it could really be clutch and save you valuable time. Great work once again, Yaba is slowly coming to life more beautiful then ever! Glad to see you feeling better.

Wire labels will save you tons of time and frustration in the future. Great job.

It looks so complex. Well done MP. I really enjoyed this episode. it was so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing with us all. Keep well and safe. James.

[@mwatkins2464]

I don’t think moving wires around is all that’s required to become an expert. I hope you were kidding

[@bigslim492]

MP it is so nice to see you back on the boat and in action once again. I hope you are well and feeling good. Please make sure that Ben saw all of the comments about the prop shaft and drive belts. Please make sure that he doesn’t get stubborn about not having a shield of some kind to cover those things. I really don’t want either of you to get hurt in any way and especially not hurt by getting wrapped up in that shaft or one of the belts. P.S. You have done a FANTASTIC job on all of the electrical. It looks and works great.
