I’ve not got a boat. Don’t understand electrics. Understood next to nothing of what you said. Enjoyed it a lot. Your like Stephen Fry, doesn’t matter what your talking about, it’s just relaxing to listen to you. Keep doing it.
Spot on Joe, well done 👍🏼
I have a question. Beer of the week is?
Vlogs are mint Joe 👌. Fair play man.
Adverts for sex toys in your ad breaks. Not impressed guys
Have you still got your Aldi undies?
Great overview, thanks Joe. I have just bought a narrow boat and I have lots of Engineering qualifications but I still appreciated the vlog. It was both informative and interesting. Your system looks to be robust, reliable and inherently flexible, well done. I am struggling to design something that isn't expensive and overly complex. 🙂
The BMC 1500 is a derivative of the B series, so effectively dates back to the early 1950s.
Very interesting! Only someone with zero knowledge about finance would call the electricity free, though. With a large investment, the electricity is not free.
Don’t understand anything you said 🤣🤣🤣
hiya I've recently seen a canal boat that has had a full electric conversion where it hasn't got a diesel engine at all the whole boat was electric even the motor that powers it and it look amazing inside too i think you should do that with your boat bro you would save so much money as you wouldn't have to buy diesel anymore
Get on the 'Coffee Stout' from Aldi, for BOTW Joe. It's unbelievably good. Just had one watching this, so now my mouth is buzzing with coffee and Guinness type aromas, and I understand series wiring! Result!🤣
Hi Danni, There is only limited amount of cash this year. Which would you go for first EG EcoFlow or generator. Hoping there may be some offers on at Crick 2024. PS I don't buy from the Internet. Great watch, thinking of options now. Cheers Julie
Really appreciate this, thanks. I mean, i don't understand it, all dark arts to me, but I'll get there… perhaps.
Hi Joe would you still need a galvanic isolator if you only used a generator? Has I'm in the throws of adding extra solar and generator on my boat. Love watching you and Dani
Hello Joe. Great vlog, as always. Does your alternator struggle with belt slip when under load? And…. Going back in time, can you explain what you use for your bed lifting system, please? I know you briefly covered it when you were building the bed, but I can't find it. Cheers Dave.
Great video Joe, I had a few questions to ask when you first installed your electrical kit; this video answered them all, Thanks – Pete
Hi. What generator did you get?
RCD Joe, just to jog your memory
Always useful brother
Pleeeeeeze bin the £€%&^@ naff music. Almost as bad as making coffee 😂. Pleeeze it’s pants
Your video has taken the edge of my lack of knowledge of all things electrical..such a mystery.. we are new to all of this and have been trying to decipher the spec of our new boat.Look forward to getting more adept of all this stuff! Thanks for the info 👌
Because of you, I now own an ecoflow! I got in case of emergencies (earthquakes, floods ect) but I'm finding I'm using it another more . It's great. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿😊
Perfect explanation!
Well explained Joe. Be aware that storing petrol onboard requires a stringent set of rules and regulations to be adhered to that most boaters’ ignore, possibly with dire consequences and potentially making your insurance void. Might be worth considering getting your generator converted to run from your 13kg gas cylinder.
Set your cerbo to charge your ecoflow when batteries are full very easy to do simple relay great vid mate
0:18 – Eeeeeeehh…. get a replacement cap for that as soon as possible. You don't want loose debris or a screw/nut/washer while working on something else falling inside.
Brill vid, tons of info for those of us interested, I commented to 'the narrowboat pirate' that bifacial panels are now available that absorb light from both sides giving up to 30% more energy, tons better yield in overcast british weather… 1000mm x 700mm panels are rated about 200-225w, I believe, so a pretty big efficiency leap. it helps a lot to elevate them on brackets tilt towards the sun and paint the surface behind them like a boat roof white so it reflects light to the panel rear. They run a higher open circuit voltage tho, so need appropriate controllers, but I suppose each panel is like a solar parallel sandwich of two panels back to back with clear glass. I'm hoping somebody like Craig solar stocks 450-500w panels that are only the size of 350-400w panels in the near future as I've only seen smaller bifacials at the moment. 👍
Have you not thought about a wind turbine for the winter months to help cut fuels costs of a generator?
Why? Sorry the channel is going down hill.
Very interesting, thank you.
😂😂 Galvonic isolators are more than witchcraft 😂 as a boat owner and an electrician I totally believe they are just cash cow, the metal posts on the pontoons with the AC power supply don’t have them ????
Hope Dani is safe n well 👍👍
👍
Well done Joe guess help a lot of boaters hope u ok on your own tc now the oldies 👍👍🤗🤗
OK Xx
For trickle power you could try adding a small wind turbine for winter top up😁👍
No, it was really interesting. Would you ever think of buying a hybrid boat( I know they are expensive), but would you feel they would be more energy saving 😊
Nice informative video Joe. Good stuff, well explained!
Thanks for sharing. Interesting video and comments, don't have a Narrowboat, considering an ecoflow to power lights for a market stall rather than petrol generator
It was really good to see how you guys get electricity on the boat. I quite liked it.
Well explained, great video.
Ooooh i do enjoy a good Danni and Joe vlog. Keep that coffee and music coming !
that was extremely informative joe thank you very much i hung on too every word well done buddy
nice vid under stood what you said good information cheers adrian
Well done young man well done makes common sense to me .
Boating always comes down to power.
We have left the comfort of a marina on shore power and are solely reliant on engine and solar.
It's a tricky juggling act
Unless we have sun it's a no no not to use the inverter. Whilst all UTube vlogers have been gifted these power packs yes I agree they are an evening asset and I think we should have to buy one at some point in the future.
The weather has been horrendous for the past 4 months. Boating is tough.
Keep safe both
Safe journey travels.
This is the best description of off grid power I have seen. Brilliant, well done Joe👍
Found it helpful..😊
