@@drewblessing8418 It says 0 because we don’t have a countdown. If you scroll down on the Raffall Website, it’s states that the winner will be announced when all tickets are sold. Therefor it’s impossible to have a countdown. Hope that explains it.
Personally, Skipper, I'm with you. I love all the technical stuff. Installations, constructions are fun. I started building models as a kid. Then drag racing cars. Fun stuff. In modeling, RTFM is a most. Same with putting a race engine together.
Tristan given it looks like you have an AGM service battery if you replace it with a Lithium that would give you more capacity since you can drain it down more without doubling up. However you would have to check for your alternators and charger for Lithium compatibility.
Lmao! Tristan, you gave me a good laugh. R.T.F.M.. Here in SA our technitians are talking about R.T.F.I.. I wonder how many people picked that up in your comments. Good one!!!!!!!!
Hey Tristan, If you ever find yourself cruising AWOL on the east coast of Australia, Brisbane. I would like to do a walkthrough of AWOL. This is still a newish channel, and I am limited to photo montages of yachts. I love your channel, been subscribed to it from my personal account for quite some time.
Bow thruster pulls high current from batteries in short bursts...not unlike starting the engines. You would be better off installing a dedicated bow thruster battery, a start type battery, close to the bow thruster to keep supply cables short and minimise voltage drop on the cables. House, or service battery, should be capable of relatively low (in comparison to start battery draw when engine is cranking) steady amp draw for long periods of time. Start battery needs to be capable of providing high current for short period...like what bow thruster requires. If you position bow thruster battery too far away and don’t provide big diameter cables, the high current draw will cause voltage drop in cable resulting in reduced voltage at motor. Also, dielectric grease should be applied to electrical connections at bow thruster motor to help ensure good electrical connection is maintained in harsh salt water environment. Since bow thruster will draw large current, it is extra important to ensure you do not get high resistance joint at the bow thruster connections which will result in large voltage drop, heat at the joint and extra stress on motor insulation system resulting from higher current draw due to reduced voltage at motor terminals.
I was more concerned about you getting shocked than the boat sinking. I felt like the boat would make it to the pier, but water and electricity...hmmm....
When you next do your training could you sound your general alarm and show us the training I know you’ve previously done a video where you train just wondered if this was something you would be doing again at the start of the season
Great video. I may have missed it, is the new thruster 24v or 48v? Do yall have a setup on tender and mothership to provide shore power from AWOL to the chase boat when at anchor?
@@SuperYachtCaptain There was a recent interview by Sandy Munroe who was interviewing none other than Elon Musk and he mentioned that future Teslas may dump 12v entirely obviously they are only used for services like your yacht. But it was interesting how we never think about it and 12v is really an legacy and no real use for it apparently even Ethernet cables the stuff you do not think about and blithely clip in and out on its little plastic connecters uses 48 Volts!
For the Coast Guard here in the USA. We do vessel exams on boats to make sure they are safe. Do you guys have to be inspected by your Coast Guard before you were considered safe?
Check out this video in the inspections that AWOL undergoes. th-cam.com/video/tBDjA30jIzM/w-d-xo.html I was going to just answer, but I realized that I did not have a leg to stand on.
Loving the videos. I have a couple of questions about the chase boat please :) Why does a smaller boat like the chase boat need a bow thruster? Why does AWOL have a chase boat like the Axopar as compared to the much smaller tenders we see on shows like Below Deck? Thanks.
Hi Robert, Thanks for the feedback. I’m doing a TH-cam Live tomorrow at 19:00 CET and will be answering the viewers questions. So please Join us and would happily give you a full answer. Cheers
37’ is not small...by definition it is yacht size. Since engines are close together steering a long boat with the engines is more difficult and takes a lot more throttle. Having a bow thruster helps a lot.
Hello Tristan I enjoy the videos with you do is it in the technical parts question is The Bowthuster that is on aiwal is that also proportional like the one with you just installed on the chase boat
I was wondering why do you need such big batteries for the outboards? Surely they only need one between them as they are only really used to start the engines? That way you could use two of the batteries for services and one for the engines and then have a battery switch that allows the services to draw from the engine battery and the engines from the services battery should that be needed (ie one of the batteries die for some reason). Im sure theres a reason for the layout so if someone could explain it for me that would be great. thanks
Love to see the technical aspects Tristan. It's more of a behind the scenes and shows the other things SY crew need to do. Not all glamor but real work :-) No harsh critique, just speaking my mind. In my opinion, if you are making a technical video I would dispense with the special effects. Your edit was a bit busy distracting from the story told.
Hey. Welcome back. Been looking for your videos. If I could suggest just losing the heavy metal music...it's like a dentist's drill and distracts from the great content. Thanks and bona fortuna.
just one question ? who was responsible for the total failure of the original bow thruster ? boat manufacturer-axopar? crew of the chase boat ?thruster manufacturer-sleipner? i realise that you have connections with all of the possible culprits and have no wish to cast blame but by publishing this you have made a problem that could have been not only expensive but fatal to anyone onboard a form of informative entertainment and as such you may find that more than one of your viewers may ask the question. sorry to be negative but the dramatic musical bed whilst mundane mechanical work is carried out does not work for me it feels out of context ! .

Enjoy seeing the technical side too. Thanks.
Great job shooting and editing this video. Outshines the subject matter honestly. Well done lol.
Yes, more tech vids. They help in understand the intricacies of boating bo9th pro and novice boaters.
Nice work, its always nice to see people install equipment that know what they doing. Nice editing as well.
Yes, I would like a few more tech videos.
Standing up at my home office desk, I can literally see the roof of the Sleipner HQ :-) Great quality products!
great job glad its fixed during down time
I was thinking, "water jet" until he grabbed the prop! 😂 Cheers Trist! -3.14 Pi-lot

I really enjoy these technical videos and looking forward to the next one.
"R.T.F.M." also frequently heard in the submarine business.
You definitely have a great knowledge of your boat
Great video, Captain. Now...what have you done for us next? You have us hooked.
Digging the projects on the vessels. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing!
love the technical videos. Thanks
Great Technical Video Captain, can’t wait for some more .
Superb editing Mr Tristan. The lesson from Mr. Ortega really paid off well.👍
Yes, thank you. I’m enjoying the editing classes, I still have a lot to learn.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for finally getting it fixed and showing us 🤙🏼
love the technical videos. So fascinating!
yes more tech stuff is good
Tristan given it looks like you have an AGM service battery if you replace it with a Lithium that would give you more capacity since you can drain it down more without doubling up. However you would have to check for your alternators and charger for Lithium compatibility.
Hello Tristan, superb video, in terms of content and image too. 👍
Very nice Reece Tomlinson. 👍
Lmao! Tristan, you gave me a good laugh. R.T.F.M.. Here in SA our technitians are talking about R.T.F.I.. I wonder how many people picked that up in your comments. Good one!!!!!!!!
I often use RTFM acronym.
@@borysnijinski331 Lmao!
I’d like to see a video of the AWOL in the absolute worst storm it has ever sailed!
Great thanks, I have a new source for a thruster when mine gives up, I currently have a ventus and like the idea of a variable or proportional device.
Amazing video! More technical videos please! Btw All boats should come with more batteries for accessories
Great informative video.
The chase boast is basically a Yacht from where im from.
Hey Tristan,
If you ever find yourself cruising AWOL on the east coast of Australia, Brisbane. I would like to do a walkthrough of AWOL.
This is still a newish channel, and I am limited to photo montages of yachts.
I love your channel, been subscribed to it from my personal account for quite some time.
What was the cause of the old thruster falling off?
RTFM 😑. I had to google it. 👍
Nice! Could there be room on the roof for a solar panel for keeping the batteries topped up?
Yes, I believe some of the new Axopar’s have Solar panels
@@SuperYachtCaptain A small 100 W panel + solar charge controller would be very cheap investment. Couple of hundred euros, tops.

CC would be great
How about a quick look at the other boats in the shed sometime?

Great video. I may have missed it, is the new thruster 24v or 48v? Do yall have a setup on tender and mothership to provide shore power from AWOL to the chase boat when at anchor?
12v and yes we can connect t he shore power to AWOL

The vessel is in survey and a commercial charter so yes, ongoing inspections.

I was going to just answer, but I realized that I did not have a leg to stand on.
Tristan, are you a bit of a IT nerd? RTFM is originally jargon from IT, but you’re totally correct.
More of an engineering term coined long before IT existed. “I/O Error” is IT terminology (Idiot Operator Error).
Loving the videos. I have a couple of questions about the chase boat please :)
Why does a smaller boat like the chase boat need a bow thruster?
Why does AWOL have a chase boat like the Axopar as compared to the much smaller tenders we see on shows like Below Deck?

When are you going live next?
Hoping this Friday at 19:00 CET
Hello Tristan I enjoy the videos with you do is it in the technical parts question is The Bowthuster that is on aiwal is that also proportional like the one with you just installed on the chase boat
Yes it is 👍
Nice upgrade, but why didn't you use tinned copper wire for everything to ensure maximum reliability? See 15:35
Short question. What camera are you using?
I was wondering why do you need such big batteries for the outboards? Surely they only need one between them as they are only really used to start the engines? That way you could use two of the batteries for services and one for the engines and then have a battery switch that allows the services to draw from the engine battery and the engines from the services battery should that be needed (ie one of the batteries die for some reason).

Read The Full Manual....
Will you be showing the additional hull work for the bow thruster once you receive the parts from Axopar.?
Absolutely 😎👍
Hey. Welcome back. Been looking for your videos. If I could suggest just losing the heavy metal music...it's like a dentist's drill and distracts from the great content. Thanks and bona fortuna.
Ciao for now
Amazing!!! Don't put music please. Always is ten times more loud that your voice.
Not gonna lie, felt sick with all the camera movements lol
Maybe you need a seasickness pill 😉
isn't side power Norwegian? or am I completely off the table
Does the chase boat captain live on the chase boat??
Yes
Wear a mask Tristan. Keep everyone safe.
love the videos Captain. A while back you has a sponsor online classes by subscription. what was the name of that company and are they still sponsors?
Hey, thanks a lot,

Could you please use a camera with stabilization? I had to stop watching after a few minutes.
