    I could rewire my house with all the wire you removed.
    You are doing things the right way
    Good Job !!!

    Awesome video Mads! The only thing more satisfying than rewiring a boat is watching someone else rewriting a boat. Keep up the good work! Member of the OCD Team....

    And thank you! I feel the same way about boat ownership, the tear down and rebuild is my version of therapy.

    Fantastic!
    I love fixing up crazy wiring.
    Also my wife is rolling around on the floor from the outtakes!
    Keep it up Mads!!

      The mystery switch is incomplete indeed, however, it is missing a Bakelite screw-on ball, you can still see the broken thread in the end there, the ball would stop it from ejecting in to the battery bay, whomever used it, smashed the ball end, thus shearing the thread. Not really worth fixing, much better and far more reliable systems available today, of which i'd recommend having at least two above deck and bellow deck just in case.
      Also, congrats on 20000!!! Here's to 20000 more in the next months, this channel, and you, certainly deserve it.

    Your hat was not on incorrectly, it was merely worn at a jaunty angle and this is quite acceptable.

  • @ismzaxxon
    @ismzaxxon 7 років тому +15

    That switch that flies out is a current fuse. Yes it is broken. The center section is a spring that changes shape when it gets hot, and moves away from the contactor pins. Bin it! It's seen better days and is a fire hazzard. A new resettable fuse is in order.

    WOW! Another Awesome Video! I will bet, that you now realize just lucky you were, sailing this boat from Scotland to Denmark... now knowing all of the electrical hazards that were waiting to go wrong! I know I am late to the party, but I have been binge watching your Athena Project for the past 2 days. Your videos are very professional, In fact they are far and away better than most of the DIY shows on Cable, and light years better than some of the productions I've seen on Boat Maintenance on Amazon Prime Video.
    Sure, some of the "S/V "Boobies in paradise" channels are okay, but I am learning so much about what to expect when I buy a boat. You have taught me that "Access is king", and that there isn't much onboard the boat that is overly complicated. You have really demystified the process of refitting a boat, at least, for me! Thank you for your continuing inspiration... But why do have make your videos so damn fun to watch? I can't stop!

  • @RealityIsTheNow
    @RealityIsTheNow 7 років тому +3

    Mads! Your boat was a fire hazard! And all that cabling tied to the propane line as well! Nice work, as always. Such instructive and inspiring videos. Thanks! :D

  • @brucekratky7993
    @brucekratky7993 7 років тому +1

    Considering the over all condition of Athena's hull, deck, ports, and wiring...I'm just glad you and your friends got back safely from Scotland! It's amazing how a poorly kept vessel can still function. I am enjoying the wiring episodes. This is where my skills in DIY are shallow to say the least. Cabinetry, woodworking, painting, staining, diesel mechanics, sewing are all in my wheelhouse. Wires are the dark side. You have taught me more than you know and are giving me the confidence I need to press forward. Happy New Year to you and yours. Have a blessed 2017.

    Great stuff Mads....I re-watched some of your older stuff and have to admit the gallery swivel table on Oblix is pure frikkin genius. Amongst many other things I've seen you accomplish. Keep up the great work and always look forward to Sunday's and Thank-you

  • @n7gn
    @n7gn 7 років тому

    I salute your fearlessness and confidence. You inspire confidence and hope. I can think of few people that would strip virtually all of the wiring from a boat and expect there to be the prospects of a completed project in the not too distant future.
    Best wishes for 2017 and I look forward to being inspired.

    I've been on my boat for a couple weeks so I had a bunch of videos to watch from sailing channels like yours that I subscribe to. Yours is the first one that I watch and look forward to the most. Congratulations for a great year of your hard work. I hope it is paying off for you. Thank you for the entertainment! ;)

    If you add a drinking game to your videos, ...say...every time you find a ZIP TIE - take a drink! ... then i think you will be increasing your viewership. A warm and firm handshake from Toronto, Canada. I am hooked on your videos. You inspire me! Cheers.

    I've been binge watching you're channel since I found it a couple days ago. High quality editing! Like the shorter beard. I'm for forcing faster hull drying by plastic tenting and a small electric heater. Supper impressed with your grasp of English. I can barely order a beer in one or two different languages. Thought I was the only one with that freaky satisfaction of tearing into old electrical like that. I would love to see more content regarding system integration, meaning wifi, power management, tv, speaker, sending unit/gauges. Love the audio books myself, good way to get lost in the ..... sanding. Ever make it to the west coast of the US? Keep up the good work.

    @dksharp1 7 років тому

    I love boats and I agree, fixing up and rebuilding a boat makes the vessel more like a relative than a possession. I look forward to each new episode you produce. I enjoy video blogs about sailing, cruising and boat repair very much as I learn quite a bit. Cruising Lealea and Drake Paragon and Sail Life are my top three of the seven or so that I follow. Keep up the good work sir. Happy new year and thank you.

I agree that there's something really satisfying about tearing out messy/dead end wiring, not to mention how many future headaches you've just eliminated. As always, a treat for Jokull.

    Mads - congrats on hitting 20K.... your videos are very well done and your lighthearted approach is refreshing. I'm sure that your number of subscribers will continue to grow. I must also say that your progress is awesome. Most folks would probably be discouraged if they had to deal with such a project, but you just push through it all, and your planning and workmanship is top notch.

    Thanks for the continuing nurturing of my OCD, it seems to be a common strength/affliction of technical people, like myself. Really getting glimpses of how wonderful your boat will be, when you have finished with her. Hoping you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and a happy New Year. Looking forward to following your progress into the 2017s.

      Sail Life I think you're right. it wasn't the merry or happy that I found so funny though :) I'm sorry if you've answered this already but, are you planning on doing any work to the deck? I've never seen that done. Well, at least not the way I expect you would do it. which is to say, I expect you would cover the topic really well.

I've always thought the exact same thing as what you said about developing a bond with your boat after doing such a big renovation and going through every nook and cranny of it. So great to see all of that old wiring go! And so exciting to imagine what Athena will look like this time next year! :)

    • @SailLife

      Thank you so much Drake! The 20,000 mark kind of snuck up on me. Last I tried calculating the date the result was January 31. That's the day after my birthday and I thought it would be really neat if I could hit 20,000 on my birthday. But hey, this is even cooler :P Eagerly awaiting your next video as always! :)

    I was watching another Danish youtuber, who also affected by the storm. They mentioned about the water rising. Seeing it in your video, I'm surprised by how much it did. At least everything turned out alright for you. Also, that is quite a lot of wiring. The previous owners must have made quite a few changes before you got it, what with all those loose ends. All the best for you in 2017!

    If your talking about the defender in waterford, CT then I'm in for a meetup, I'll be down there shopping the sale to. The videos are really helping in restoring my own boat, mostly because I'm jealous of how much your getting done! My wiring looks like a rats nest too, I'll probably be digging in this weekend.
