Testing the solars and bilge pump onboard our free aluminum boat- EP07 Sailing Wild at Heart

In this episode of Sailing Wild at Heart, we’re back onboard our free aluminium sailboat to test some of the most important systems for living aboard and cruising: the solar power setup and the bilge pump. This boat has been sitting for a while, so before we even think about sailing or refitting, we need to know what actually works and what’s dead. In this real, raw walkthrough, we: Test the solar panels to see if they’re producing power Check the battery system Test the bilge pump (aka: the thing that keeps your boat from becoming a submarine 😅) Talk through what’s usable, what’s sketchy, and what needs fixing Share what it’s really like bringing a neglected aluminium sailboat back to life If you’re into: Sailing channels Boat refits on a budget Free boats Aluminium sailboats Living aboard Cruising prep Solar power on boats Bilge pump systems Or just watching people figure things out …you’re in the right place. This series follows our journey from finding a free aluminium sailboat to inspecting, repairing, learning, and eventually getting her sailing again. No fancy edits. No pretending we know everything. Just real boat life, real problems, and real progress. If you’re dreaming about sailing, refitting a boat, or escaping land life one bolt at a time — welcome aboard. 👉 Subscribe to follow the full journey of restoring and sailing this aluminium boat 👉 Drop your questions in the comments (especially if you know more about marine electrics than we do 😅) 👉 And yeah… row it on home ⚓ If you want to support this journey check out our wishlist below Amazon wishlist: https://amzn.asia/c5qhPQJ
