More Sailboats More Problems, Installing An Outboard Engine And Solar Panels (Episode 49)

Hi everyone, welcome back to my boat adventures! In this episode I am dealing with the repercussions of having two sailboats, both of which have a busted diesel engine. The Cal 40, my new boat, needs to be moved out of it's current location. For this move to happen, I need to take the outboard engine setup off the Columbia 45 and move it to the Cal 40.
Making the situation more complicated is the breakdown of my dinghy outboard motor and the need to charge the batteries on the Cal 40. For this I will be bringing a generator and solar panels on board the Cal 40. An anchor chain replacement is also needed, transporting that will not be easy.
Here are the list of parts used to install the solar panels:
T-Branch Solar Connectors 50A - a.co/d/eCVJzzY
Solar Panel Extension Cable - a.co/d/ev4wgeC
Solar Charge Controller 80A - a.co/d/4q7v8KW

Always appreciated, thank you! The weather here is stunning this time of year, I wish you many sunny days across the pond.

Well done. Lots of progress. Man-handling that motor is a big task. I did the same thing a few months ago. It was no fun. Very interesting video. I hope the solar panels and charger top off your batteries quickly.

Thank you! I’m sure you felt my struggle, having done the same thing yourself. Not an easy task to say the least! The solar panels have not been a complete saving grace so far. The highest I’ve reached so far is about 11 Amps. Longer days will help, and a proper place for them is much needed as well. I’ll be covering how I install them several episodes down the road. Best wishes!

Thank you! The second motor as a redundancy is a great idea. Ideally, I’ll figure out that busted diesel and then not have to rely on the outboard. Having said that, I’m sure it will be a much bigger project than anticipated, and many surprises will be ahead lol. Boat projects are always crazy and escalate very quickly.
