The owners of the sailboat *Vagabond* perform a haul-out at a Fiji marina to address critical engine and autopilot failures that have grounded the vessel.0:32 To repair the engine, the crew replaces the silent blocks (engine mounts) and works to recondition a heavily corroded heat exchanger.9:29 Because the engine parts were sourced from Japan and held in customs, the mechanical work requires precise coordination with local technicians.32:31 Simultaneously, the crew troubleshoots an aging hydraulic autopilot system that failed during a previous passage.15:15 After discovering worn carbon brushes in the autopilot motor and air trapped in the hydraulic lines, the team successfully bleeds the system to restore functionality.25:32 While the autopilot is operational, the owners identify it as a priority for full replacement due to the scarcity of legacy electronic components.31:17 The haul-out also includes replacing an aging anti-siphon valve to prevent future water intrusion issues.17:56
