Running BIG boat cable is not easy! - Project Brupeg Ep.361
Please consider supporting the project each week with a few dollars www.patreon.com/join/Brupeg?
The electrical upgrade is in full swing on Brupeg. This week Jess & Dame are knees deep in cables running from the battery room to the engine room. With Damon the DC electrician due in one week, the race is on to get the cable runs complete so he can make the connections to the new victron gear.
Thank you for your incredible support!

    EGT probes belong in the exhaust manifold at the turbo inlet. The important temperature to know is what’s coming directly out of the exhaust ports and into the turbine. The turbo soaks up so much heat energy that the post-turbo temperature is low, delayed and essentially meaningless. Love the project! Great to see her run up to top speed.

      This wiring will stay as is indefinitely as the system has been designed holistically around the victron gear. The wiring etc is fairly set because of that and we just needed to make it fit to the boat, which is what we did. Nothing on any boat is ever perfect as it’s always balancing compromises etc. that all said we have lived with wiring very similar to this for a few years now onboard and had no issues come up from things like data cables running next to dc or ac cabling so we are happy to trade off is extremely minimal.

    Very challenging pulling new cables in alongside existing ones especially when having to use lots of force, the danger of chafing or straining the other ones is high. I know it's a pain but it's usually better to take everything out and start again putting them all in together and run at least three spares at the same time. If you run each end to a junction box or cabinet for that area you have some flexibility to change things. As a rule for every cable you need run two more because you'll use them.

But i couldn't help noticing them big cables crossing the smaller cables. Heat transfer across them ummm... Dont think thats good. Your starter cable's should be away from the other cable. Also in larger boats/ships they call for steel cable ties . Because of vibration the weight of the cable could cause snapping and sagging cables. +if you have a fire they're kept in place and stop your free movement if you have a fire. As the plastic will melt. Cheers i love what your doing Just a few helpful words i hope. Not a criticism of what you have done over ten years . 👍🥂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Ma in questa occasione dovreste mettere un pò di attenzione nella posa dei cavi , non stressarli in vie cavo insufficienti creando un sicuro problema di induttanze tra la massa metallica della barca e i flussi di energia che corrono nei cavi. Cercate di separarli il più possibile per evitare surriscaldamenti e induzioni capaci di darvi qualche problema con gli apparati elettronici asserviti alla generazione dell'energia ed alla sua gestione. Inoltre con la forza esercitata sui cavi per l'infilaggio nei condotti stressate l'isolamento. Non voglio essere di insegnamento ma meglio prevenire che curare .Buon lavoro.

    Hey Dame, With the 12v Feed from the Genset battery, Maybe worth having a change over switch there so you can pull from either the Genset battery OR the Main Engine Battery? That way if you are still steaming under main engine power, if both Main converters go you can just run Nav power from the Main engine. The 12v Charging circuit on the Genny likely isn't very big ampacity wise at all as its usually intended only for running the genset itself, so maybe you should consider Main Engine Feed first? If the Main Engine uses 24v for starting (I forget if its 12v or 24v start) you would need an extra converter there, but still worth considering. Come to think of it, those original Lithium Battery packs you are replacing with the Victrons, are any of them still actually serviceable? If so, and you can install them in a way that is To Code, Consider using one or more of them to serve as Emergency Batteries to power things like the Radios, and basic Navigation / Emergency lighting equipment, the idea being that if ALL ELSE fails, they will still allow you to communicate via radio, know where you are, and be seen. Thus they should be in their own air tight box, installed somewhere else, and have multiple charging sources via ISOLATED type DC-DC Converters / AC-DC chargers. Regarding the NMEA Cable, I would have considered leaving it in if possible. The NMEA-2000 data bus is incredibly versitile and could be useful to have a branch of it down in the engine room later on for future expansion use. Many Many marine systems leverage it, and YachtDevices make all kinds of additional modules to expand the capabilities of the network as well. Infact one of the devices they make is the "Engine Gateway" which allows you to pipe data from a Canbus enabled Engine Computer directly onto the NMEA 2000 network. That Genset you have? Well you might want to check if it's ECU has / supports Canbus, as you could possibly leverage that along with NMEA2000 to get live data to the bridge. They also have a whole range of Circuit Control and Monitoring blocks, and Autopilot block, and a whole ton of other sensors / gateway modules, all NMEA-2000 based. Some potentially useful modules: Autopilot Unit: YDAP-04 / Rudder Sensor: YDRA-01 Engine Gateways: YDEG-04 / YDES-04 / YDOG-01 (This one is designed for non computerized Engines, may be useful for the main engine) Circuit Control and monitoring: YDCC-04 / YDSC-04 / YDRI-04 All important Voyage recorder: YDVR-04 Tank Sensing: YDTA-01 / YDTA-04 Ethernet Gateway: YDEN-02 USB Gateway: YDNU-02 I wont include the URL because the filter wont like that, but just search "Yacht Devices" you'll find them.

Its likely our gear wasnt good enough but if every we had a fault in the Brunet system it was normally something to do with NMEA. we ditched it a while ago and transitioned everything over to Ethernet and its much easier for us to integrate sensors and just build a more robust system. Also the boat will be going to air start so the system is designed to ignore the main start batteries as if they won’t be there. Genset is the only battery in the engine room long term

      ​@@ProjectBrupeg That's a rather interesting experience to have with the NMEA Stuff, well that explains things! Did you ever get to the bottom of why it wasn't reliable? Regarding the starting, Is it any more viable now than it was earlier to run Dual start, Ie Electric Plus air given you already have the electric starter? I'm just not sold on having purely a pneumatic starter without some semi reliable alternate means to crank the engine over (Without requiring some rather dodgy Jerry-rigging), not to mention that if you are doing maintenance and need to be able to bump the engine, or do repeated cranking (eg for priming), air starts to become rather limited, but a good set of batteries on a good starter should be able to crank continiously for quite a while. Depending on the cranking current requirements, the Lithiums may actually be able to handle that (Lithium start batteries are a thing! Get one with built in reserve for the Genny please!). If you can't feasibly have a normal electric starter with the air one (eg one on each side, i think that was touched on ages back), do you know if it would actually be feasible to use the Get Home motor to crank the engine? I Saw in another comment that you need oil pressure to engage the gearbox, but that you were also going to have an (electric?) oil pump for Lube purposes if using that Get home motor..... Makes me wonder if it's feasible to use that pump to get the required clutch engagement pressure and I'm sure the Get home motor has more than enough power to spin the engine, so its a matter of actually making that work? Regards!

      @KSSilenceAU we need to machine the bellhousing to accept a second starter. But our ultimate plan is to have air start on one side and spring start on the other without the need to hold and maintain lead acids. The air start can be fully rebuilt onboard if it ever fails and the air tanks can be fully recharged in around ten minutes and we should get roughly four starts per tank fill so we could in theory crank all day if we really need to with air

    I think that any man has a pretty good idea of just how much Jess contributes, but it is good to be reminded now and again. Would be interesting to video some of those discussions so we can also see how that process works with you guys, we just need to see the highlights and "Ahha" moments in the discussions that would be fun to see. Wiring is something that take so much time, it's finnicky and often ends up with oops moments and sore fingers. You did a great job it's looking awesome. What did you do with the hole going into the engine room, I suggest getting a fire resistant foam to seal it off and help create a fire resistant barrier.

    Just one little question please... In the event of having to use the 'get-you-home' system, how do you separate the engine from the propeller shaft? (ok I guess with a spanner? - or a torch?). You don't want to load the electric motor with a dead - or seized - engine as well as providing the only means of backup propulsion.

    • @ProjectBrupeg
      @ProjectBrupeg 5 днів тому

      So we still need to use the main gearbox as the thrust bearing so assuming the gearbox/main engine isn’t fixable at sea we do whatever is needed to get the gearbox into neutral. With this gearbox that’s fairly easy as it needs hydraulic pressure from being spun by the main engine to engage the clutch discs to go forward/reverse so it defaults to neutral etc. at that point t we can turn on an external oil pump to lube the bearings in the gearbox and start the electric get home to spin the prop. Its sounds convoluted when I write it down like this but it will be quite simple. Turn oil pump on, make sure prop can still spin, engage belts for the get home (via a simple lever) and start spinning the prop using the electric motor.

      Apparently in Aussie box can be built out of any material (even ply). If we were doing this one again we would make it from alloy but make it from thicker plate as the frame and skin idea was a bloody nightmare to weld the edges of the skin to the frame. Plus it’s easy double the work of a full plate design
