Refitting the 38-ft sailboat *Squib* involves structural reinforcement, hardware installation, and plumbing maintenance. The crew installs a grounding plate for amateur radio by mounting it horizontally to the hull below the waterline, using gold-plated hardware and sealing the through-hull bolts with SikaFlex.8:03 To address loose railing stanchions, the team drills new mounting holes into previously installed internal reinforcement blocks, sealing the connections to prevent water ingress.3:29 The engine cooling through-hull fitting requires replacement after the original silicone sealant failed, causing the valve to loosen; the crew removes the old fitting and reseals the new one using marine-grade sealant.12:27 Additionally, the interior galley cabinetry is reinforced by laminating the base and rear panels to the bulkheads using thickened epoxy.16:38 The crew also routes the engine throttle cable and secures it with a clamp to ensure proper tension.12:17 These tasks are completed as part of a final push to finish two-person projects before the end of the refit period.3:12
