Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

The crew of *Into the Mystic* replaces eight through-hull fittings and valves during a multi-day haul-out.1:07 To expedite removal, they cut the old fittings out rather than unscrewing them, a technique recommended by their boatyard mentor.3:22 After cleaning and painting the bilge surfaces, they install the new through-hulls using silicone sealant and custom-made dog-leg tools to tighten the backing nuts.17:55 The project also involves cleaning the propeller and shaft, though the crew struggles to source the correct PSS shaft seal, initially purchasing an incorrectly sized unit from West Marine before identifying the proper 2.25-inch replacement.15:02 They also perform maintenance on the propeller anodes and prepare the rudder and sensor locations for professional fiberglass work.17:09 The crew notes that the physical labor of working in cramped bilge compartments is demanding and suggests that hiring professionals for such tasks is often worth the cost.20:51
