I need your help to fix Iridium GO! Troubles & EasySea Gear Upgrade | Episode 59

In Episode 59 of the Sailing Goat Series, I tackle an issue that has been bothering me for weeks — our Iridium GO! satellite system still isn’t working properly. I had to cut and extend the antenna cable during the initial install at the nav desk, and since then, it’s never transmitted the way it should. I tried redoing all the connections but with no success. This time, I’m asking for help from the sailing community — if you have any experience with Iridium GO! wiring and troubleshooting, please drop your advice in the comments! On the bright side, this week brought a silver lining: our EasySea products finally arrived, and I couldn’t be more pleased! I ordered: 2 Olli Rings 2 Olli Blocks Winch Covers 2 Flipper Max EasySea Product Descriptions: 🛟 Olli Rings: Strong, lightweight friction rings perfect for rigging boom preventers and other static line setups. These are simple yet highly effective hardware pieces that minimize wear on lines and reduce moving parts. 🛟 Olli Blocks: Compact and durable high-load blocks designed for dynamic rigging, ideal for spinnaker sheets and other running rigging applications. Easy to install and incredibly reliable under load. 🛟 Flipper Max: An innovative winch handle extension that provides extra leverage when using larger winches.
