1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
With help from my friend Victor, got the Victron components wired up together and tested. All seems to be working fine.
We also got the motor re-mounted and connected to the shaft. There is a pretty significant wobble there so we’ll need to go through the alignment process.
PSS needs to have its bellow replaced every 6 years. The time was up for mine and with motor and batteries removed, I had clear access.
Almost every page of the PSS replacement kit said “do not do this with boat in the water” but plenty of YouTube videos showed that it actually could be done so I decided to use the opportunity.
That task is not for the faint of heart. Water was gushing in and took some time to property secure the new seal. All in all, the task was completed and I learned quite a bit.
