Installing the Air Breeze wind generator onto the boat(s\v Elegant'sea)!
We found the heat gun and Debbie shrank the heat shrink and then we snaked the wires through the mast and then through the Cam Clam and into the boat.
There we connected the red\black wires to each other stopping
the blades from spinning.
Next it was applying
gobs of LanoCote to all parts and sliding the Air Breeze wind generator over the mast. Then
tighten it down.
Debbie's pretty face and good attitude makes it all worth it 😍
As you can see now it is getting dark, and colder.
Next step was to apply
the ante size to the nut and shaft for the blades and screw them on. Debbie held the Air Breeze wind generator and I turned the blades to tighten the nut. Then snapped the hub on and the Air Breeze wind generator was ready to hoist.
Now we raised the Air Breeze wind generator aluminum mast. Debbie was in the cockpit and held the mast in place as I tightened up the struts.
Because of the size of the wires we
could not seem to get the extra 8” or so slack into the mast so it will need to
be in the boat. Then we can loosen the Cam Clam and pull out some slack if we
need to lower the mast holding the Air Breeze wind generator .
So it looks cool any
way. Looks like we are going places as Debbie said. There is some more mast tweaking
to do and then the wiring up still needs doing. This is a great accomplishment though.
Next morning the Air Breeze wind generator still looks good and is still standing!
