Two Mabru units, one on each voltage, so the boat is comfortable wherever you are. The 12V unit runs straight off the lithium bank—no inverter needed, no generator to fire up just to cool down. The 110V unit is for when you’re on shore power or want to fire up the generator.

• Mabru 12,000 BTU, 12V DC, soft-start — runs off the 1,280Ah lithium bank. Master cabin and salon (May 2022)
• Mabru 17,000 BTU, 120V — port hull and salon. Runs on shore power or generator (June 2024)

Everything you need to navigate is new, and everything is integrated. The core is a Raymarine Axiom+ 12” chartplotter with a complete Navionics cartography package — the US east coast, the Caribbean, and down into South America. We also added an Orca Display 2 nav display mounted in a self-charging cradle at the nav station but detachable, so you can carry it out to the helm when you want instruments in your hands. It’s interfaced with the NMEA2000-connected Orca Core 2 system to tie it into the boat’s other electronics and works as either a chartplotter or an instrument display.

We also installed a Predict Wind Data Hub, which uploads our position via Starlink in real time — friends and family can follow our boat on our blog without us having to manually update our position.

New electronics (installed by the Boat Doctor in St. Augustine):

• Raymarine Axiom+ 12” MFD chartplotter — with North America + Caribbean + South America cartography
• Orca Display 2 and Orca Core 2 — Display is removable from the nav station, can move to the helm; interfaced with Raymarine; also shows AIS enriched AIS targets via Starlink (a great safety feature)
• New control pad and computer for the autopilot
• Predict Wind Hub — position tracking via Starlink

Existing Raymarine integrated system:

• Raymarine RD418HD Radome (Fall 2023)
• Raymarine ST60 Tridata and Wind Indicator
• Raymarine ST7002 Autopilot with LewMar Rotary Drive
• Raymarine RAY55E VHF Radio with remote speaker in salon
• Raymarine AIS650 Class B Transponder with dedicated antenna
• 2× Raymarine GPS with external antennas
• Handheld Raymarine and Icom VHF radios

Sonar & other:

• Garmin dedicated display with Panoptix forward-looking sonar and side-scan sonar (Feb 2023)
• Suunto bulkhead-mount magnetic compass
• Masthead Windex
• Windlass remote and chain counter at the helm

The boat is wired for both 110V and 220V and has two shore power inlets, so wherever you tie up — US, Caribbean, Europe — you can plug in. On top of that, there are separate Victron inverter/chargers for each voltage: a 3000W 230V unit and a Multiplus 12/3000 120/50. That means any appliance you bring aboard from any region just works, and the charger side keeps the lithium bank topped up from shore or generator.

• Dual 110V and 220V wiring with two shore power inlets
• Onan 4kW genset — fully gone over, new hoses and parts

• Original “as built” schematic, wiring, and cabling diagrams on board

Installed new by us. The Rainman Modular AC-140 HighOutput is the top unit in their AC line — two 40″ Dow Filmtec RO membranes, a 316 stainless steel General Pump high-pressure pump, and a Jabsco lift pump. Production runs 26–37 gallons per hour depending on water temperature, and the whole system draws about 1,300 watts in steady state — easy work for the generator or the 3kW Victron inverter.

A lot of Rainman installs are bucket-and-hose setups — great when you buy the unit, less great five years in when you’re pickling it on deck in a crosswind. We plumbed ours properly into the boat from day one. You can fill either water tank individually with production water, and when the boat sits for a while you pickle the system by adding chemical to its own reservoir — no buckets, no disassembly.

• Up to 37 GPH (26–37 depending on water temperature)
• Two 40” Dow Filmtec RO membranes
• 316 stainless steel General Pump WMR high-pressure pump
• Jabsco impeller lift pump with TEFC induction motor
• 230V
• ~1,300W steady-state draw — runs comfortably off the generator or the 3kW Victron
• Plumbed directly into the boat’s freshwater system

• Chain: 200ft of 10mm G4 galvanized chain (new Nov 2019, re-galvanized Oct 2021)
• Windlass: Lofrans X3 12V 1700W — serviced 2021

Traditional depth sounders only tell you what’s directly under the hull — by the time a reef shows up, you’ve already hit it. Forward-looking sonar shows you what’s ahead.

• Side-scan sonar
• Installed February 2023
• Integrated with Garmin chartplotter display
