What this video covers
The crew of the Lagoon 450 *Parlay Revival* replaces 30 bronze through-hull fittings with composite True Design valves at the Port Whangarei Marine Center to eliminate corrosion risks.1:21 The installation process involves using Sikaflex 291, measuring hull thickness to ensure proper thread length, and allowing 24 hours for the sealant to cure before final tightening.4:16 To address the risk of failure in the vessel's Goyot escape hatches, the crew installs additional custom-fabricated fiberglass brackets to reinforce the glass panels against water pressure.13:56 Maintenance tasks also include reinstalling an SD50 sail drive after a new SD60 clutch assembly proved cost-prohibitive, and applying Propspeed anti-fouling to the sail drives and propellers.10:09 A new high-pressure fuel injector pump causes excessive engine smoke despite professional consultation, forcing the crew to revert to the original pump.17:21 Following manufacturer installation manuals for sealants and coatings ensures long-term structural integrity for underwater fittings.19:21
