Captain Rick Moore, known for his insightful water adventure videos, showcases yet another exciting project in a recent episode where he tests a new Solar Sun Shade.

Their effortless demonstration highlights how efficient they are with tasks that boating enthusiasts perform on a regular basis. The Purpose of Solar Sun Shade The purpose of the solar sun shade is to ensure the boat stays cool when sunlight is not directly hitting it and also to stop the sunshade from flipping in the wind if the wind gets a hold of it. The solar panels, placed strategically around the structure, work together to produce a total output of 800 watts.

Performance Test

To test the solar sun shadeu2019s efficiency, Captain Moore chose a sunny morning with limited wind. As per his observation, they managed to put out about 50 watts even when there was little sunlight on the panels. The voltage remained steady at 8 AM, which is quite impressive.

Solar Power Station Showdown

Besides showcasing his latest invention, Captain Rick Moore conducted a showdown between top contenders in the small power station category. These included Ecoflow River 2 Pro, Bluetti AC180, and B RV which went through various tests and demonstrations to showcase their abilities.

Features Compared

The power stations were compared based on their portability, expandable features, power output capacity, and charging efficiency. The Bluetti AC180 was crowned the top contender for its numerous functions such as continuous power output for its size, weight ratio, built-in charger, and app control.

Improving the Nav Station

Not just sailing improvements but Captain Rick Moore also showcased his skills in enhancing personal comfort and organization. By installing a new expansion on his nav station, he made space for his keyboard for the new computer setup which added to his ease of operation during long voyages.

A New Addition to the Boat
