Structural repairs to a boat's skegs and rudders involve grinding away damaged fiberglass, filling cracks with a mixture of polyester resin and talc, and applying new layers of glass fiber reinforced polyester.1:01 To ensure structural integrity, the crew uses a polyester resin thinned with 20% acetone to penetrate the wood before applying the fiberglass layers.10:53 The process requires careful preparation, including sanding and shaping, to minimize air bubbles under the fiberglass.13:20 Additionally, the crew improves the energy efficiency of their boat fridge by cleaning the motor and dust-covered components, which reduces power consumption from 8 amps to 6.3 amps.14:50 They also address a faulty door switch by applying a gasket and adjusting the seal to prevent air leaks and ice buildup.17:39 These maintenance tasks are performed alongside the ongoing rudder and skeg refit, which requires repeated cycles of sanding, filling, and fairing.19:18
