To prepare the anchor locker of the 35-year-old boat Antidote for painting, the owner applies Interlux Interprotect 2000E barrier coat.0:27 After removing peel ply from previous fiberglass tabbing, the surface is cleaned with soapy water and sanded to ensure a mechanical bond.2:20 The primer requires four to five coats to achieve a 10-mil dry film thickness, which creates a protective barrier of mica plates.4:55 To maintain a dry bilge, the owner tests a Neptunian Sky bilge-drying system, which uses a smartphone-connected pump to remove residual water left behind by standard centrifugal bilge pumps.6:31 The test setup includes a 76-inch head height to simulate the deep bilge of Antidote and a vacuum break to prevent siphoning.9:16 The system successfully evacuates half a gallon of water in two minutes.14:46 The owner plans to route the system's discharge into a shower sump to avoid drilling additional through-hull fittings.15:52 Long-term testing will simulate the water accumulation of a traditional stuffing box.18:05
