What this video covers
The crew of the 45-foot sailboat Plan C performs maintenance and system upgrades while docked at a boatyard on Florida’s Treasure Coast. The team identifies and attempts to loosen two seized sea cocks located under the forward head sink using PB Blaster.▶ 1:41 They remove a manual Whale bilge pump from the cockpit storage locker, determining that a full rebuild kit costs more than a new unit.▶ 7:47 Electrical work includes tracing and testing wiring for a wind generator load dump, a solar charge controller, and an inverter.▶ 8:37 The crew confirms solar panel output at 19.5 volts and house battery bank voltage at 13.2 volts.▶ 11:28 They also reroute wind generator cables through the engine compartment, removing a hose clamp that was pinching the wiring.▶ 14:10 The project concludes with a family reunion and a visit to the Blue Heron Bridge.▶ 16:59 Replacing old, undocumented wiring and seized through-hull fittings requires systematic tracing and testing before attempting repairs or replacements.
