What this video covers

Mads and Ava prepare their 44-foot hurricane-damaged catamaran for launch by clearing the yard space beneath the hull and installing a new anchoring system. They remove a tool trailer and storage boxes to allow a transport trailer to be positioned under the vessel.▶ 3:59 The new ground tackle includes an 85-pound Mantis M2 anchor, 300 feet of 3/8-inch galvanized chain, a Mantis swivel, and an M3 chain hook bridle.▶ 5:10 The crew tests the chain hook’s compatibility with the anchor roller, confirming it passes through without obstruction.▶ 9:48 Additionally, the host configures a Maretron DSM-410 display to monitor engine exhaust temperatures via the NMEA 2000 network, replacing a Garmin GMI 20 display that lacked the necessary alarm functionality.▶ 13:42 The project remains delayed while the crew awaits a firm date for the yard to move the boat and schedule a crane for splash.
