you guys are legends - my first instinct would be to get an independent 3rd party to check every single thing the first rigger did. If he can't measure sails properly - lordy help us - getting measurements right is a first order of business for a details man.
My mistakes never got 100 percent sorted by you guys and I’m a paying customer not getting free sails. Been thinking about doing a Video on why you should NOT get sails from someone who is not local. To your credit I did get a Voice Mail many weeks if not months later from an Unknown number. Those never get checked. If it was from Precision I would have called right back. Bottom line disappointed. With sails I got from Precision. Lots of mistakes made
@@jasonwright1327 we are very sorry that you are not happy with the 3 sails that you purchased in Sept/18, April/19 and June/19. I see that we had a warranty case opened for you in May/20. I will send you an email with my contact information to rectify any issues with your sails. - Ron - Precision Sails
That negative loose wire at 7:00, looked like it was not insulated? I went back and looked again, sure looks like exposed metal. Not sure what "just delete it" was meant, but with all those red positive wires on your instrument panel, I would strongly advise to put some heat shrink or similar to cover the (if it is) bare wire, if that started floating when you're sailing, well, just cover it if it is bare.
A little help on your electrical ( unrequested I know ) 1. Never hook up power to anything without using an inline fuse or connecting to the proper size breaker. 2. Never ever unhook or delete a wire and leave it in the panel without taping or insulating the end of the wire. Always use a piece of white tape to make a flag on the end of the wire and write on the tape where that wires other end is located and whether or not the wire is still good and useable or not for a future project. 3. You can get a book of numbers tape at all electrical stores and put a number on both ends of any wire you install. If you have to trace an existing circuit go ahead and number the wires. They also have letters in the tape and you can add a letter to the wire if you wish. ie. The letter A for refridgeration the letter B for lighting the letter C for navigation and so on. Then get you a three ring binder with the plastic sleeves to hold notebook paper and make a record of the numbered wires and where each end goes. If you unhook or delete the wire write it down. This takes a few minutes but it will save you hours if you have a electrical problem. 4. You can get a fish tape at any Home Depot Or Lowes. It is used to push thru around or under obstacles to hook a wire to and pull it back thru. Unlike a broom handle or straight edge they will go thru an area or hole a small as 3/8 of an inch and come in different lengths 25 ft would be ideal for the boat and cost about 20 bucks. You do an amazing job and I love watching your videos. I hope you find this helpful !
About 8:20 you mention which connector to use on which wire. A note from someone in the industry; the preference is to put the plug (male) on the ground (black) wire (on the side closest to the battery) as the terminal is exposed and should it come in contact with other metal that is grounded then you are safe from shorting the battery. The positive (+12, 24, 48 V) should have the socket on the side closes to the battery so that if you accidently drop the wire it will be less likely to short out.
Some decent electrical advice in the comments. Did not see anything on water heater , sounds like bad ground issue but if you connect to boat ground it might create weird zinc anode editing currents????
Lucky Jordan, the mid-ship stateroom is the most comfortable & smoothest ride on a vessel underway. If I might make a suggestion.... get yourself a packet or two of various size tie-wraps to clean up what we in the trade call a rats-nest of wires behind your breaker panel. Installing wires on a boat can be difficult. That's all I did for several years was wire or rewire boats & complete electrical services. I once used a kitty to make a 60ft pull between the hull & bulkhead and two 90 degree turns to bring me a pull string. Tied the pull string on her collar at the bow & placed an open can of tuna at the opening in the stern. Little sweetheart brought that pull string first try. Bummer about your mainsail, that's got to be frustrating.
@@krismartin1181: After trying to get a wire fish snake around two 90 degree corners about a gazllion times... I was desperate. It was either the kitty or taking apart half the inside cabin bulkhead & moving a boat load of furniture. Trust me, I added an extra #12 wire to the pull with a big loop on each end, secured em with a clamp, and marked em as a "pull wire" for the next guy who found themselves in the same quandary.
We bought some nice little brass light fixtures like that and they also have a USB charging port built into the base. That way people can hang out with the light on and charge their phone or tablet at the same time.
I never run wires in the bilges if I can avoid it. Instead I run two bus bars high on the deck shelf in a bifurcated re-openable conduit, one each side of the vessel, and wire everything individually from those bus bars via the appropriate amperage encapsulated fuses. This is not as difficult as it sounds, and I use 6mm tinned conductors for all ancillary wiring, and use the switchboard only for relays and major overload switches and lights telling me a circuit is operating, which requires a 50 pair plastic telephone type cable for all LED monitoring of every circuit in the vessel if required. Bilge pump circuits are permanently wired with only a light and buzzer showing which pump is operating. For my bus bars I use AT LEAST 10mm diameter tinned conductors. Sometimes one can get the best quality DC wiring from aircraft disposals sources--at scrap metal prices. I do not use aluminium conductors though except as lightning protection on aluminium masts..
Good idea to keep wire out of the bilge. Mainly for safety. Also running the "bus bars" down each side keeps each branch circuit wiring run shorter and neater and a lot easier to add accessories. True the bilge pump alerts should be independent of EVERYTHING else. Good ideas.
Great job doing your own electrical work. Since you seem to have an issue, and some doubts. I’d engage a recommended and qualified marine electrician for a couple or so hours to look over your systems, make recommendations and or - whatever needed to keep you and your vessel safe. Cheap insurance!
Hi Aubrey Jordan new lady aboard and doggies. I guess you can't win them all with that mistake. A lot of nice maintenance going on there and Jordan has a neat English accent. I'm laying here on my bed at 5:30 a.m. taking this all in and enjoying. Thanks much and look forward to your next and God bless you all.
You share the road with cars and trucks that people do there own electrical and brake maintenance .Remember this the next time you go down the hiway at 80mph next to them
Glad to see you’re good buddy Jordan is back. Squirrel is looking hot as ever. And girlfriend, you are one moxie gal to be in there doing all those manly man chores to fix up your boat. Bless you
Do not use your dryer. There is a ground problem or a neutral switched with ground somewhere. Check to see what the voltage is on the dryer case. Check all of the wiring from your panel to the dryer. There is a serious problem which must be fixed.
That is about what a set of sails cost so I'm thinking it was the measurement error. Hopefully less than 10k for the rework but still will bring the overall cost up.
Id be seriously looking into why that water heater is shocking you. Bad ground i suspect but fires are caused by simple things sometimes. Good job on fixing the siphon loop and if it were me id replace the fuel line and fittings. Out sailing in rough conditions you'll be glad you did.
What was specifically wrong with the sails? Surely the mast builder of the brand new mast and boom, would have had P & E dimensions and these would be sent the the sail maker. Curious minds.
@@CheersWarren You are right. But I used to work at a mast builder and we always had to supply the sailmaker with all the necessary information to make the sails fit the rig. So I was surprised to see that sails made incorrectly. But she didn’t mention what was wrong.
KENT = non competance mentor, MEASURE 5 TIMES CUT ONCE. I said it a long time ago, that guy is a legend in his own mind. Who has beautiful custom SELDEN rigs built and does'nt know how to measure for the brand new sails ??.............. make him pay dearly for years !!

Great advice! I was cringing a few times. Of course they’d cringe if they saw me try to sail.
Was hoping to see Jordan catch up with you guys! She brings a great attitude to the boat and she can obviously cook.

Love that pirate ship. It's a fine looking sailing vessel.
It is a beautiful ship 👍👍👍🍻🍻get sailing
Which room is kent going in?
Isn't running wires in a boat fun? Looks like a great time. All for one little light lol 😆 ✨️
I hope you run a inline fuse to cover any issues.
thanks you inspired people to get in to sailingagain
Man I can't wait to see yall sail that beautiful boat. I want one so bad :(

Kent was too busy goofing around with you girls
Love the interior wood. Although my OCD wouldnt be satisfied until every scratch or blemish was covered with a matching furniture pen.

question I am looking at a ct54 and it dont have mast nor missen. I wonder how much you spend on the riggin. thnks
You were looking at around 80,000
Enjoyed the video.

so I stopped in fishermans bay on the 18th to say hi. but you weren't there, sorry I missed you
Good job on wiring the light.
crazy woman with a drill god i love watching her .
Sailing is freedom and working tandem with nature.
Do not use your dryer. There is a ground problem or a neutral switched with ground somewhere. Check to see what the voltage is on the dryer case. Check all of the wiring from your panel to the dryer. There is a serious problem which must be fixed.
If you are getting current through the water heater it means that the electric element will have to be replaced
I hope u mark ur wiring in several spots to know what the circuits r,that always helps in the future
So what was the $10,000 mistake or was it clicked bait?!
That is about what a set of sails cost so I'm thinking it was the measurement error. Hopefully less than 10k for the rework but still will bring the overall cost up.
Have you ever stood on the main boom leaning into the main mast while sailing wind I your face man I miss the days.
If its u have electrified touching anything go head install auto transformer in the boat . If you are in the water and u hooked in marina electric
Ok, JORDEN IS THE FRIEND & COOK FOR THIS CHANNEL?
I BEEN COPYING HER
DISHES. SHE ' a Good cook!
Consider using double hose clams in the anti-siphon loops.
Not below waterline so double not required.

The mast rake also has to be taken into account and any amount of mast normal pre-bend so P&E is not enough alone.

mice anti-siphon! so you guys dont believe in ABYC doubling of SS compression clamps?
Above waterline! Only one reqd
Lable those wires??? Just saying.
No wire numbers, no drawings/prints, how the hell do you troubleshoot any of that??
this is Matthew
♥️♥️🥰🥰
You need some fish sticks for wire like that
Only one comment today: I REALLY LOVE YOUR PIRATE SHIP!!!
Let's make like...

Measure once cut twice. No excuse for that screw up.

Nice to see handsome Cyril again 🤗. But he needs definitely a proper shave🥰
Gees sweetie.
Almost as bad as your Rigger mistake.🤞
😃 hilarious.
Come to Pakistan I marry with you I waiting from long time
Jordan is a beautiful woman & has a beautiful personality it seems 👍🏼 Hope she stays with you a while
U have the gayist music....
ya pay for your neighbors electrical work with anodes. fer sure.
