What this video covers

Damien and the crew of the converted fishing trawler prepare the engine room and cabin spaces for a new motor installation scheduled in ten days.0:20 The project involves installing holding tanks, which requires extensive fiberglass work, fairing, and painting.0:20 Damien applies two layers of 128-gram glass to the tanks, fairing the surfaces with Jodomastic 90 epoxy and finishing them with Poly-U 400 two-pack polyurethane paint to prevent mold growth.1:53 The team also modifies cabin doors and drawer sliders, replacing old wheel-style hardware with ball-bearing sliders that feature push-lock fittings.7:27 To create sight glasses for the tanks, Damien experiments with epoxy and chopped strand mat fibers, ultimately opting for a clear resin pour after initial attempts with fibers failed to remain transparent.19:26 Additional tasks include routing shelf edges, sanding wall panels, and planning for future fuel transfer pipe modifications.6:44 The crew works around intermittent rain showers while finalizing the interior spaces before the engine arrives.14:07
