It's been a fun weekend in the yard. Not the most productive weekend I've ever had, but it's been fun. Spring is here and with it a ton of people in the yard. I'm considering getting a "Please don't talk to me I get easily distracted" T-shirt ;) 

Despite all the distractions, I did get a fair bit of the AC wiring taken care off. I'm hoping I'll be done rewiring the AC in a couple of weeks. No doubt it'll be amazing to be able to get rid of most of the extension cords aboard the boat :) 

I hope you guys are having a wonderful Sunday :)

Sail Life - Rewiring the AC & a look at an isolation transformer (Victron Energy 3600w)

In this video, I get started on rewiring the AC with the help of a good buddy and also take a quick look at the isolation transformer I'll have aboard the boat.

It is an OE36 from 1971. You'll probably spot a few of them cruising in Danish waters. Check out our website/instagram "runwiththewind.se" if you're curious!

Mads I know the isolation transformer was mounted with big screws but just what if you get caught in bad weather and those screws decide to come lose then you have a big heavy chunk bouncing around causing damage very close to the hull? I guess there will be something covering the GRP and my suggestion would be to make that cover think and durable so it can take a few hits from 26kg bouncing on it. You could also add some extra mounting brackets that you either attach directly to the transformer or just leave them attached to the boat with no load from the transformer so in case something goes wrong you have a quick way of securing it again. Maybe my concerns are over doing it but can you really overdue safety? 😂
