Hi everyone! My name is Vasil and I am restoring my 1974 Columbia 45 sailboat. Power generation has been a challenge a struggle on this boat since day 1. I've had to rely on two old solar panels to harness the power of the sun and squeeze out the small amount electricity they could provide me. As my power needs increased, I am no longer able to meet my power requirements from the solar panels alone.
It's time to fix the 2000 watt generator I've had sitting on board this boat for several months. Having a working generator on board will allow me to charge the batteries for my tools, my laptop, and the onboard 12v batteries. However, the generator is not in running condition. It's time to fix this essential piece of equipment. Once the generator has been fixed, I'll need to set up an area to plug in all the outlets for my equipment and my 12v charger.
Thank you so much for watching!

Nice work. Learned a lot. Wind power is another option.

Great video (as usual) Vasil. I had to laugh when you had to catch the camera due to wake from boats (I assume). You are making really good progress and figuring things out as you go. I enjoy watching your videos as they are real. Keep up the good work. Cheers from DownUnder.

I barely get enough power through my 100watt solar panel to power my 12 volt 50 watt fridge. What really does it is the windmill. As long as that one is rotating, I dont even need a really good battery to keep the fridge running. I do have a 220ah battery that last the entire night with the fridge out when there is no wind.

Jasper, good suggestion. I will look into wind going forward. So many projects here that it's hard to wrap my head around them lol.

I can imagine, my boat was also a bit of a project. Eventually you will see the wood throug the trees again! At least you got a generator, that´s also still on my todo list :D
