In this episode of Sailing Helios, our long-awaited Momentum Marine electric outboard motor finally arrives! We’ve been counting down the days for this upgrade, but there’s a small hitch — the battery is still stuck in Customs, so we can’t fire it up just yet.
While we wait, there’s no time to waste. Jude upgrades the harness on our petrol outboard to make it much easier and safer to use, then we dive into one of the biggest jobs yet: completely altering and improving the boom tent.
With only a few days left in port and a long list of projects still to complete, the pressure is on! Join us as we push hard to get Helios ready for the next adventure.
If you’re into sailboat refits, electric propulsion upgrades, and real-life cruising challenges, this one is for you!
