KEEPING MY 12V SYSTEM SIMPLE ON MY NEW TRIMARAN | Ep.129

[@ausweta44]

Good to see rivnuts in use - I’m amazed they aren’t used more on boats especially for attaching fittings to masts and booms.

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Ideal for fibreglass! I have used them on a mast before. Only problem is the difference in material.

[@sailingona]

Wow love the riveting thing never thought you can get one like that ⛵️

[@AlexGoesSailing]

It’s so good for fibreglass! 😁

[@SailingWithDave]

Nice and neat. Very satisfying to see it all nice and tidy . I did not know "Rivet Nuts" existed until now. I have a million uses for those!!!

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Exactly what I thought when I came across them! Thanks Dave!

[@dcallan812]

Nice job, you see what every wire is for and well laid out. 2x👍👍

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thank you!

[@c.a.mcneil7599]

Nice and clean work. Easy troubleshooting

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Indeed!

[@AlanKaufer]

Excellent use of the 3-D printer. You’re making great progress.

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thank you!!!

[@felixmuller3036]

Another good 3D printer job - excellent 👍🏻 I did a refit of my electronics last year. I wish you continued success. Best, Felix

[@AlexGoesSailing]

The 3d printer is so handy. Thanks Felix!

[@jeffweston7465]

Great Alex great job and it even made good sense to me Amazing how you can do all that?👍👍

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thanks Jeff! One step closer to the water now!

[@MyFlyfishing]

Your making a great job Alex. have you considered using galvanized tray to run your cables on? I think it would make the job smarter again!

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thank you! That could be quite cool!

[@MyFlyfishing]

@@AlexGoesSailing quite professional too!

[@MyFlyfishing]

It’s your boat, your systems make it what makes sense to you but keep heat sealed copies of what you have done plus copies on your hard drive etc.

[@AlexGoesSailing]

@@MyFlyfishing yeah for sure!

[@Jack-ne8vm]

dielectric grease on connections to slow corrosion.

[@AlexGoesSailing]

For sure!

[@markgallagher1376]

[@hedleyjackson5131]

[@stefantieken]

Nice work

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Thank you!

[@chrisobrien5138]

Nice work! Is the Lithium compatible with the outboard charging?

[@AlexGoesSailing]

Works fine as it’s controlled well. Still testing it out to see if I can find any short falls.

[@samfazers8818]

​@@AlexGoesSailingI dont now if I am comfortable with lithium in a boat due to its explosive reactions I under stand that they are quite sealed but still sea water and lithium dont mix lol

[@AlexGoesSailing]

@@samfazers8818 so lithium ion batteries are the explosive kind that definitely shouldn’t be on a boat and has given lithium a bad name. The battery I’m using is a lithium phosphate which is much safer and I’d say that most boat lithiums are this type. The bms is super smart too so I have no worries. Thanks Chris!
