Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

The crew of the Open 66 sailboat NV performs several maintenance projects while docked in Kudat, Borneo, to prepare for coastal cruising. Timo services the autopilot’s mechanical linear drive after detecting noise and erratic steering; he discovers a stripped plastic gear wheel, replaces it, and reinforces the drive unit’s mounting bolts with epoxy putty.6:04 To improve anchor handling, he cuts an access hatch into the foredeck, allowing him to operate the windlass and manage the chain from the bow rather than the interior.9:09 He reinforces the deck cutout with fiberglass layers and seals the new hatch cover with Sikaflex.10:40 Additionally, he relocates the galley’s manual saltwater foot pump to a more ergonomic position directly in front of the sink, which requires modifying the storage cabinet doors and laminating a new fiberglass support structure to prevent the pump from wobbling.17:51 Finally, the crew replaces the fuel tank deck fill, cap, and hose, and commissions a local canvas shop in Kudat to fabricate a PVC rain-collection system for the boat's bimini.22:40
