A solo sailor returns to a Grinde 27' in Lombok, Indonesia, to perform several maintenance tasks after a long absence.1:58 The refit begins with replacing a leaking flexible freshwater tank; the process involves siphoning the old tank using a bucket and manual pressure, then cutting a new fill hole into the replacement bladder using the provided ring as a template.12:21 The sailor also installs a new telescoping saltwater galley pump, reusing existing mounting holes to avoid drilling.18:06 To address persistent leaks at the mast boot, the sailor applies self-fusing mast boot tape over the existing rubber boot, layering it from the bottom up like shingles to shed water.21:20 Additional repairs include re-attaching bug screens with contact adhesive and replacing worn cushion covers.10:05 The sailor notes that the mast boot tape must be stretched during application to activate its self-bonding properties.22:13
