Day 6 of our Christmas calendar takes you into the engine room, where all the heavy-duty magic happens! ? Here's what you'll find in this surprisingly spacious area: ? Main engine: - A Volvo Penta TMD22 with 78 horsepower, running like a champ with just 2,000 hours. - We're planning a full service before setting sail next summer. ? Fischer Panda genset: - This powerful generator provides AC power whenever we need it-perfect for life at sea. ? Port bulkhead: - Packed with many of our electrical Victron components, which we'll show you in a future episode. It might be tight compared to a house, but for a boat, this is luxury! Got questions about our engine room or how we keep it running smoothly? Drop them in the comments! ? ? See you tomorrow as we explore more of Vela! ?
