Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Peter and Sabina perform structural and mechanical upgrades on their pocket catamaran, *Squib*, focusing on deck sealing and bilge pump installation. To improve watertight integrity, Peter routes data and power cables through two conduits directly into the deckhouse rather than through the deck.1:20 He drills 20 mm holes, fills gaps with thickened epoxy, and reinforces the area with fiberglass matting.1:09 He also seals the hull-to-deck joint with thickened epoxy to prevent water ingress.6:38

For the bilge system, Peter replaces inaccessible centrifugal pumps with self-priming diaphragm pumps.13:32 He mounts these pumps above the bilge to simplify maintenance and prevent clogging.13:51 Because the original pump orientation was incorrect, he disassembles the pump heads, rotates the motors 180 degrees, and reconfigures the flow direction to match the installation site.14:15 He finishes by sanding the cured epoxy and preparing the mounting points for the new pumps.12:30 The project prioritizes functional reliability and long-term maintenance access over cosmetic perfection.
