What this video covers

Sven Yrvind installs hardware for steps on the boat Uwe Eend, addressing the challenge of mounting straight components onto a curved hull surface.▶ 0:00 To ensure a secure fit, he applies epoxy to the screw holes, drives the screws in, and then removes them to coat the threads in epoxy before final installation.▶ 0:37 He marks the orientation of the hardware with an arrow to account for asymmetrical hole spacing.▶ 0:24 Because the hull curvature does not match the flat profile of the hardware, he fills the resulting gaps with epoxy.▶ 0:52 He uses a file to adjust the positioning of the components for a flush fit.▶ 2:32 The process requires multiple stages of drying and adjustment to compensate for the mismatch between the straight hardware and the curved boat structure.
