How to Avoid TWO Anchoring Disasters!!! - Ep. 12

#brokenwindless #windlassswitch #quickwindlass In the few instances we have had to anchor, we have had a couple of mishaps that could have been avoided if we were better prepared. The first instance was when our engine quit and we were not able to deploy the windlass, because we didn't have access to battery power. The second instance happened when we had power in the batteries, but we had blown a fuse, which often can happen if you run the windlass system forward and backward too quickly. We show you what to do in both of these situations, so you can make sure you are well prepared for anchoring, which is VERY important to any sailboat. #anchorissues, #anchoringwithnopower #windlassissues #fountainepajotwindlass #fpwindlass #fpwindlassenginebypassswitch #preparingforachoringemergencies #installingwindlassengineswitch Windlass Engine Bypass Switch: 12v 20 Amp Waterproof LED ON/Off Boat Marine SPST Switch with Green Light https://amzn.to/3NTvuGM Aligator Clips: https://amzn.to/3RQQfUF Multi Meter: https://amzn.to/48oZMJE Corrosion X: https://amzn.to/48G9hUH Multi-Stack Disconnectors https://amzn.to/3vxQD2S Heat Shrink Ring Terminals: https://amzn.to/3vrzGar Marine Grade Wire: Black https://amzn.to/48EvJgS Red https://amzn.to/3NRicuk Kline Crimping Tool: https://amzn.to/4aK0Idl #svingenuity #sv_ingenuity #sailingingenuity #sailingchannel #sailingtravel channel #howtobeginsailing #sailingmaincoons #sailingwithcats #sailingwithanimals #sailingandworking #sailingDIY #boatwork #boatprojects #boatproject #DIYboatprojects #fountainepajot #fountainepajotsaona47 #fountainepajottanna #fountainepajotyacht #FPSaona47 #FPYacht #FPsailboat #FPcatamaran Help support our channel and become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/heidiandfrannysailing https://www.amazon.com/shop/heidiandfrannysailing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidiandfrannysailing Website: http://www.heidiandfrannysailing.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557106430356 Ozzie & Zeke's (our Maine Coons) Social Media YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OzzieandZeke Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozzieandzeke/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077410124389&sk=reels_tab Disclaimer: Due to factors beyond the control of "Heidi and Franny's Sailing", We cannot guarantee against improper use or unauthorized modifications of this information.
