S1E47. This Sailboat’s Wiring Scares Me 😅 (Bilge Pump Install + Boat Work)
Welcome back to Sailing UV ⛵🐾
The greatest sailing show on Earth… according to Violet anyway 😅
If you’re new here — I’m Jonathan, and alongside my giant dog Violet, we’re restoring this old sailboat for a future circumnavigation. Every week gets us one step closer to finally setting sail.
And this week… we dove headfirst into the bilge 😬
What started as a “simple” bilge pump install quickly turned into discovering one of the most confusing wiring setups I’ve ever seen in my life. Temporary fixes, old pumps, mystery wires, engine room chaos… you know, normal boat stuff.
We also head to work and wrench on another boat before coming back to keep grinding away on our own project because apparently I only work on boats now 😂
BUT…
There’s BIG progress happening behind the scenes:
🔥 The transmission is FINALLY installed in real time
🔥 The boat is getting closer to moving under its own power
🔥 Massive upgrades are coming soon
