This course is a part of a package deal of nine courses in electricity and electronics onboard.
This course is about how to examine the electronics on board, especially before buying a boat.
Besides, various aspects of autopilot troubleshooting and setup are reviewed.
Many things can be checked in connection with the purchase of a used boat. The course explains where to pay special attention. It can be things like:
- Has there been water in the boat?
- Batteries – what is the voltage after standing ½-1 hour without charging?
- What age and condition do the autopilot, plotter, and other instruments have?
- What does it look like behind the switchboard?
- How are the cables and wires around the boat in general?
- What is the condition of pumps?
