I'm so tickled to learn that Erica loves organizational gizmos and doohickeys, too - Warren can't pass an office supply store without going in for an hour and feasting his eyes and his imagination on all the Treasures!! Then watching Warren be perplexed, then totally stumped, then realize the perfect solution for the solar panels on the bimini - wow, he always puts me in awe! Now if they only had a mailing address to receive shipments... The battery panel was gifted; all those hours at Tetris paid off! ;-)
Hello, I have an FP Salina 48, about the batteries to avoid engine heat, I moved the battery pack under the bed of the aft cabin by creating a shelf across the float. I was able to place 1200 amps of battery.
I can't tell if the thumbs up at 20:47 is because of her having frustrations with the installation or if it's a thumbs on the "view". LOL Great job guys, keep it up!
Great job on the sink but you really should have been using safety gear like a high vis Fluro bikini and steel capped high heals safety first you no, great video apart from the whole batteries Sola panel easy stuff. Cheers Mike
Is it the air intake or more like the hot air exstact , ? You can draw cooler air in but maybe a lot better to take hot air out, there is no circulation because you've jammed them in,
No it’s cool air (cool compared to the 130+ degrees that the engine compartment can often reach) and the air is drawn through the tented area by a bunch of holes and slots I cut (did you miss that on the video?) and than either into the motors or out the fresh air on the other side... been able to keep the batteries much cooler!! Thanks for asking!! Cheers bud
@@WEsail no I saw the holes , the heat from the batteries will kill them , there is no space for air to circulate , wait til it's Sumner, put in an exstrator. I have seen many batteries melt through this , the engine room isn't the place for a good life .
hope you used thermal conductive glue for the heat sinks, cause if you didnt you just made it a lot worse. It will act like a blanket and make the batteries warmer.
@@WEsail Think of it like the processor in a PC, thermal paste between the processor and heat sync, it may seem fine for now, but it wont be working as it’s supposed to be, it will heat up due to its proximity to the battery, but it wont be drawing the heat from the battery very efficiently at all, no doubt it will shorten the life of those expensive batteries. I’d also agree with another comment, the best idea to cool anything is to suck the heat out for better cooling in an enclosed space.
Question for you, what's the town you're keeping your Cat in? Was wondering about safety. Does it seem like a safe place for a family to keep their boat at? I live in Phoenix and we're considering buying a Catamaran. Thinking we could keep it down near Rocky Point or is there somewhere else you'd recommend?
Hey Alex! Excited to hear you are considering sailing!! Yes it felt extremely safe! We would not say that about many places, but it was truly a fantastic place! Rocky point is also supposed to be great too, and it would be closer to you but haven’t been there personally... but again, SC is a really great option!! K good luck, have fun, and stay in touch!
it's called a Head because on the old navel sailing ships the toilets basically holes in the deck were situated right at the front of the ship "The Head" and also near the Figure Head the sailors would have to go up there squat and do their business also the waves would often break over the bow of the ship and this would help clean the area.of course officers had better toilets, "Heads" in their quarters this name has stuck up to today on modern navel ships it is still called the Heads.
I do appreciate that you cannot show step by step in a 20 minute video everything you do in a project. Now of course you might get an occasional shock from connected batteries you were installing them terminals made a connection and ok minor shock. However I did not see you fasten then down or more importantly isolate them from each other You are on a boat which is going to move they may slide if precautions are not taken and though best possible outcome of that is you blow out some very expensive electronics I am more worried about a fire hazard. I presume and hope that this is just a step you did not include in your video and of course I am not a boat electrician but it seems a bad idea most especially close to the engine compartment.
the configuration of your videos , does not allow to translate to different languages, as usual. Please, change that, so that many from other countries ,we can continue to see your videos
W O W . . . That truly WAS. “A Boat Load of Work”, unbelievable. 16:20
And WE thought re wiring our barn, new sub panels and all was Bad 😮
I am beyond impressed! You guys rock!
Camera man had one job, and nailed it at 20:50. Haha! Another awesome video. Season 3 is starting off strong! The upgrades are gonna look amazing.
Hahah THANK YOU!!
It’s good to see that you are mechanical Warren!

“Do you know what you’re doing?” Wow. Nice vote of confidence.
Looks like good upgrades.
Hey Curt!! Ya she’s is becoming quite a beast, and we love her more and more! Cheers bud thanks for messaging!!
Warren and Erica Thanks you so much for the video. Both entertaining and instructional . Thank you again from frozen New Jersey.
I love your pillows
Ya right on Joe- THANKS!!
hello from Brazil
Always looking forward to seeing your new video every week. Great content as always
Way to go on the projects. You guys are awesome!
A lot of work and you did it.... :-)
Great cool stuff from ikea guys

Great show guys keep up the great work

I feel like I'm getting to know you better each week and I'm really starting to enjoy you more!
Great job 👍🥂
First 2 seconds made me spill/spit my drink all over the monitor....thnx so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
puts on gloves and proclaims he won't get shocked, then gets shocked. good job sparky
thanks again for the email Warren. you're a damn good kid
Once again, love the video and boat improvements. Try making a hardtop for the Bimini.
Actually I would LOVE to do just that- incorporate the two new panels into a fiberglass hardtop! Good call,, great minds some thing something:)
@@WEsail checkout Onboard Lifestyle UA-cam channel. Teal is building one for his Cat.
Good work! Did you guys not want to go with lithium batteries for the upgrade?
Great job on the sink but you really should have been using safety gear like a high vis Fluro bikini and steel capped high heals safety first you no, great video apart from the whole batteries Sola panel easy stuff. Cheers Mike
Haha Mike you make a solid point, safety first LOL
Love the new intro, super impressed with all the projects. Is Erica a twin or just look a lot like her sister?
Ya thanks so much Chris!! And no not twins, just both hot LOL
@@WEsail I cannot say I noticed LOL

probably not
Hmm I didn’t, darn it... but it seems to be working quite well thus far.. thanks for commenting, made me think :)

Heck ya man, answers that!! Well done sir, really appreciate your message!! Cheers bud!!
are Erica and Jacky twins cos thay look so alike

you really should be more careful before you burn down the boat. Like that you all do your own work, and watching your show, but ?????
Ok now I’m really curious... how did I almost burn the boat down!?
