 someone on one of the videos commented that they'd like to have a breakdown of what my avionics what my systems on board are so I've got a NEMA 2000 network this is a new heading sensor Garmin heading sensor I've had to add that because up there and I'll show you from the outside that's a point one GPS and heading sensor but it's got a knob and an anomaly which means that I've had to add another heading sensor up there is a Bluetooth receiver for the wind and it's still that's two years that's been disconnected so this is the NEMA 2000 which one is it's this one here which comes down here that's the VHF radio and down here and here we've got the end of the backbone that's the resistor there so connected here is the heading sensor the Bluetooth receiver for the wind and the point one GPS receiver down here is the connection for the the log and speed the DST 800 and this one's spare now because my Wi-Fi dongle has just failed bastard so I should have cleaned up before I made this so down here that's the DST 800 speed depth and temperature and the and the network goes in this conduit the backbone goes in this conduit and it comes up into here here's the other end of the of the backbone and the terminal resistor is on the far end there so connected to this we've got the display in the cockpit the radio the AIS transponder and the autopilot now here's the radio it's a v50 radio and I don't know if you can see anything it's too dark probably but that's the Camino AIS transponder in the back there here is my my fuse box I've moved it from behind here where I couldn't get it without taking off some screws to behind here added some extra structural to because of the bending there yeah this little buzz bar here is internal light buzz Poz and neg there's my custom panel this is the Simerine Pico battery monitor and so this is the main screen barometric pressure time you can set this UTC or local battery condition main battery condition and charge or discharge state I haven't got the the charger plugged in yet what other pages so there's the house battery with the condition the current voltage and time until the discharge or fully charge when it's charging so more than 10 days discharge and then separately I've got a voltage measurement for the starter battery and the two but I'll show you in a moment with two batteries have got a voltage sensitive relay between them so regardless of whether I'm charging from the alternator or from solar or from shore power they'll both get charged that's the internal temperature I could add more temperature gauges and tank gauges but I just haven't got around to it to be honest I wouldn't mind a fresh water tank gauge except I don't know how much goes in there so I would have to calibrate it as well and the barometer which is cool because you can see you've got a long-term trend there three-day trend but you can set it to three hours 12 hours 24 hours or long-term three days so you can see in there the green going arrow going up tells you that the pressure is going up in you get ours going down and it also does some kind of flashy if it's changes by too fast a rate which I can't remember what the rate is switches for the network NEMA 2000 autopilot the Wi-Fi is not for the Wi-Fi anymore it's for the transponder my internal 12-volt USB sockets out one of which is here I've just I've just fed these guys so one here and the other one is here so they're now in convenient places for where the stuff actually is when it when it needs charging I used to have you might have seen on the old videos a big thing on here but I've taken it off now and I gave that a slap of paint as well just to tidy up a bit my main house battery is in this compartment here which is a dedicated battery compartment because it's a very heavy battery it's 218 ampere hours of weighs 60 kilos so it's extremely secure in there and then in here what have we got in here obviously I'm not in sailing mode which is why it's all a bit of a mess so this is a starter battery in here it's a 75 ampere start about just more than adequate it's always charged negative mean a neg buzz there my initial design was a bit off so I had a big buzz here and a small buzz behind there really I should have had them the other way around and now I've got a big pause and neg buzz behind here so this one hardly gets used at all there's a positive stud here which actually the boat yard in Falmouth fitted that when they when they built the battery box for me but it's not really what I wanted I wanted a buzz rather than a stud but you know it's too late it was already fitted this is the solar controller here and this is the battery charger from shaw power here which I even when I'm sitting here in the marina I rarely plug that in because I don't need it because the solar power does everything and this is the shunt for the battery monitor that's the VSR the voltage sensor relay which will connect the two batteries together whenever there's a charging source on either side on one side is the alternator and that's on the starter battery side and on the other side is the shaw power and the and the solar they're both Victron products the shaw power and the solar charger they're cool oh and here is the battery switches to combined it's a dual switch so it turns both the batteries on or off and you can combine them using this setting here there's a combined function on the VSR but I don't use it if I was going to use it actually I've used this once or twice just to check that it works and then you get both of the batteries going to the starter motor but to be honest the engine starts up perfectly on there every time on the on the engine battery she just takes a couple of revs to put out the the low oil pressure warning we just have to start up just because you know she's loose loosey-goosey and it's a Yanmar 2 Q M15 from from the 1970s there she is a little bit dirty like everything so that's the 2 Q M throttle and the stop is there obviously that's the fuel control unit and filter that's the water pump is here so to get to the impeller which is in the housing here you have to take the whole water pump off you have to undo two bolts here get it off get the belt off turn it around then you can take the backing plate off so obviously more modern engines have got a much easier access to impellers than this one luckily I never seem to have any problems with it back there's my Reco filter on the fuel line here that's the water in the plate seat got the strainer is always good checked it recently what else to see ah this is the the greaser for the stern tube old-fashioned greaser these cables go down to the bilge pump which is down there it's too dark to see the compression lever is there I have hand started this twice I failed to hand start it about a dozen times so I don't bother trying I guess if I was really desperate the adrenaline would kick in and I might eventually get it going but yeah started off I mean I was really surprised the first time I tried it I succeeded but after that next time I tried it didn't work alright I got to put the camera down to put this back so then we'll go outside so the autopilot is connected to the network and now that I've got the new heading sensor fitted everything's working properly so I can show you this is the the truck Triton to display which is really got everything you could ever want in a in a sailing instrument so this is a sales dear page with true and apparent wind the indicators the yellow dot there is the waypoint and I set the waypoint in the radio because the radio's got a nav function it's connected to the network so if I set a waypoint in the nav radio it shows up on here so I can steer to it this is the boats course over the ground you see we're not moving so it's parked on north right now and heading and then port and starboard tack and it calculates those lay lines for you you can set various parameters for the AIS display is here heading display this is this one I use for performance because here we've got apparent wind angle and speed and VMG so that's a performance page this is a easy heading page although we can see my super cool old compass right there and they are now because I've just literally in the last two hours I've spent an hour and a half motoring in circles to calibrate the compass correctly and it's finally finally calibrated so look there's the autopilot in standby mode and back here is the autopilot it's actually I've upgraded to a TP32 the 22 was fine but in in heavy courtroom winds it struggled a little bit and it started to make funny grinding noises it still works perfectly well but I thought I'd try 32 and so far it's been brilliant so I can put it into autopilot mode and we can see on here that it's now in heading hold mode but if I was sailing along and trying to you know trying to sail on the wind I could put it into wind mode to put it in wind mode you push these two together and there we can see it would now hold an apparent wind angle which is good for going upwind but it's no good for going downwind because when you're going downwind the apparent wind angle changes rapidly as you accelerate and decelerate off waves the boat would end up steering all over the place if you tried to sail on apparent wind downwind which is why I'll put this back into standby now so you can see it's back in standby mode that's why all the raceboats use true wind steering downwind because apparent wind steering sends you all over the place yeah so that's it autopilot what else systems wise have we got well for navigation I've got the iPad iPads currently in its relaxation stand there so I can watch movies and YouTube while I'm not enough to sleep and of course the Garmin in reach in reach Explorer plus or whatever it's called that's my track an old tide computer there which still works but it's much easier just to look it up on my iPhone and that's about it really I've got some washing up to do but that's my galley that's all I've got little handheld radio oh here's new you might have seen on some of the old videos it was a big like a pipe sticking out of here like a chimney but it was actually a homebrew mount that the previous owner made for his little handheld Garmin it was a bugger to get it off but I've replaced it with something fancy this looks looks nicer just a vent so yeah that's finally gone that's one of the many little modifications I made this time round yeah so that's it really that's all the systems are to show you the receivers so that you saw them from below and this is from above that's the point one and that's the Bluetooth receiver for the for the wind and they're my Doraid Doraid boxes in deep need of some scraping and and varnish and that's going to be my job next week after I've been sailing again for a bit
