Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

During the refit of the pocket catamaran Squib, the owner installs a new battery box in the bilge while navigating tight clearances around existing water tank connections, log sensors, and depth sounders.0:42 Because the battery box occupies nearly the entire length of the bilge, the owner abandons an initial plan to recess it, opting instead to build custom wooden supports laminated directly to the hull.0:54 He uses thickened epoxy and leftover fiberglass matting to secure these supports, ensuring the structure remains rigid despite the cramped working conditions.8:18 The project also involves removing obsolete gas lines previously used for a refrigerator and preparing the bilge area for future electrical components, such as MPPT controllers or an inverter.2:45 Sabina assists by cleaning the bilge, removing old sensor transducers, and identifying areas requiring further sanding and fairing.15:44 The crew discovers significant damage to sensor cables caused by rodents, necessitating repairs.16:29 The work concludes with extensive surface preparation, including sanding and filling imperfections in the cabin and bilge to prepare for final painting.12:23
