What this video covers

Pablo Berrus modifies the port stern lockers on his boat during day 22 of preparations for a solo circumnavigation.0:02 The original lockers had closed black compartments that blocked access to the autopilot and the cockpit shower valve.Watch He removes those inserts and builds open wooden trays to replace them, allowing storage while keeping both systems reachable.0:29 The new locker doors are smaller than the originals, so he cuts and fits an L-shaped wooden frame to reduce the opening size and align the fit.0:56 He then bonds fiberglass foam to level an uneven surface, leaving it to cure before sanding flush.1:19 The modification is straightforward carpentry: wood framing, adhesive foam filler, and a sanding finish to bring everything level.
