The crew of Oceanaire | Wik & Rox performs extensive maintenance on their sailboat while docked in Milazzo, Sicily, to address fuel contamination, aging electronics, and anchor chain degradation. To remediate diesel bug, Wik removes the starboard fuel tank from its tilted position, drains the contaminated mixture through a filter-lined funnel, and performs a shock treatment using Liqui Moly BioCite.7:06 He replaces the existing Raymarine chart plotter with an Axiom 9-inch Pro, modifying the console cutout with a jigsaw and router to accommodate the new unit.1:26 The installation requires a custom recess for the VHF plug, which the crew marks using Nutella as a transfer medium.19:11 Additionally, the crew inspects their anchor chain, finding significant wear that necessitates a full replacement, and cleans the dinghy bottom to remove marine growth.15:06 The maintenance period highlights the challenges of full-time liveaboard life, including social isolation during extended marina stays. Regular fuel polishing and the use of biocides effectively manage microbial growth in diesel tanks.
