What this video covers

The owners of a Beneteau Oceanis 50 perform several refit projects to prepare for offshore sailing. The primary upgrade involves installing a 15-inch external touchscreen monitor at the helm, requiring a custom-engineered stainless steel mount to replace the original plastic hardware.▶ 3:31 Because the monitor is located 10 meters from the computer, the installation requires a KVM extender and a dedicated USB 2.0 extension cable to ensure the touchscreen functionality remains responsive.▶ 11:23 The crew also replaces the cockpit shower fixture, matching the 62-centimeter hole spacing of the previous unit.▶ 16:19 Additionally, they install a new Lofrans G40 anchor chain, verifying its authenticity through the manufacturer’s certificate and batch number.▶ 20:48 To manage anchoring, they mark the chain at 10-meter intervals using Osculati markers, following a color-coded system for depth reference.▶ 22:08 Finally, the crew splices a new safety line to secure the bitter end of the chain to the boat, ensuring it can be cut quickly in an emergency.▶ 24:22
