Join us as we prepare T1 for our first winter season as harbor residents!

In this episode, we move into Skjærhalden Guest Harbour for the winter and take you through all the most important steps to winterize the boat. Whether you have a winter boat yourself or are dreaming of one, here you get a complete guide to keeping the boat warm, dry, and safe – even when the thermometer creeps down!

HC shares his best cold-weather tips for engine maintenance. Did you know that you should start the engine for 30 minutes a week to prevent crystallized salt and rust in the cooling pipes? We show you why and how we block air intakes to keep the cold out.

See the entire process of installing and connecting the new smart, WiFi-controlled panel heaters (with tip-over protection) in the engine room, saloon, and cabins. We show you the app connection, troubleshoot a mysterious E3 error code, and share our calculation of electricity costs in the harbor. Get the answer to the eternal question: What is the optimal temperature in the engine room versus the cabin?

Finally, we turn up the cozy factor! Follow along as we install Christmas lights along the railing, bring the Christmas tree to life, and enjoy the good, social Christmas atmosphere in the winter harbor at Skjærhalden.

What you will learn in Episode 53:

Engine maintenance in winter: Why start the engine 30 minutes weekly and how to avoid salt crystallization and rust in the cooling system.

Heating solutions on board: How to install and connect WiFi heaters (Smartliving/Cleverio) for remote control.

Boat electricity economy: We calculate the cost of heating per hour and discuss the power capacity (16 Ampere) in the harbor.

Security on board: Installation and use of a surveillance camera with a motion sensor.

Christmas on a boat: Simple decorating, Christmas lights, and the atmosphere in an active winter harbor.
