Lifts and Lights - Wiring tender lift and interior lights - Episode168
May 26, 2024 by Sailing Dauntless | Language: EN Play Time: 00:16:52 | SAILING YOUTUBERS

In this exciting episode of Sailing Dauntless, we embark on a thrilling adventure to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of our beloved Leopard 50. Tune in as we tackle two impressive projects: upgrading the tender lift control system and installing LED lights in the salon. Get ready for a deep dive into our meticulous process, expert tips, and handy tricks that will inspire your own boat maintenance ventures.
Tender Lift Control System Upgrade
In a bid to simplify our tender lift mechanism, we bid farewell to the complicated Robertson and Cane system. Rather than endure the intricacies of their design, we opted for a more user-friendly approach.
Creating a New Tender Lift Control System
To construct our custom control system, we incorporated waterproof micro switches, 3D printed parts, and strategically placed limit switches. These components work together to ensure precise lifting of the tender with minimal effort.
Installing LED Interior Lights
To enhance our boat’s ambiance, we embarked on installing LED lights in the salon area. This project not only improves visibility but also showcases our passion for maritime aesthetics.
/Kimu2019s Speaker Hole Plugging Adventure
In a true display of resourcefulness, Kim took on the challenge of plugging speaker holes that were left when the previous speakers were removed. This crucial step ensures a tidy and organized living space aboard our Leopard 50.
The Finale
With both projects successfully completed, we proudly demonstrate the smooth operation of our new tender lift system and the delightful glow of the LED lights. This video episode not only highlights the importance of boat maintenance but also fosters a sense of community among fellow sailors.
Upcoming Projects
In our next big project, we’ll tackle the installation of ceiling panels in the salon and galley. Stay tuned as we embark on this transformative journey, turning our Leopard 50 into an even more captivating home on the water.
Remember, every boating adventure comes with its fair share of trials and triumphs. Embrace the challenges, learn from the experiences, and always keep your sense of humor close at hand!
We are finally getting to the lift and light wiring. The lift has been a jerry rigged mess for longer than I care to admit but with the help of the 3d printer we make magic happen under the newly installed salon lights.
