What this video covers

The owners of the catamaran Mistertong perform maintenance and repairs while preparing the vessel for potential departure. The autopilot system fails, displaying an "ECU" error message; after cleaning electrical connections with contact spray and inspecting the hydraulic pump and wiring, the system resumes normal operation.0:25 The crew also addresses fuel capacity by cleaning two auxiliary 150-liter diesel tanks located in the engine holds, which were found to contain water and sediment. They plan to fill these tanks completely and add anti-bacterial and anti-humidity additives to ensure fuel stability during the hurricane season. Additionally, the crew repairs the cockpit table by sanding and refinishing the surface, and they install Dyneema-reinforced inserts on the deck to prevent fraying at the edges of the toerail. These tasks are part of a broader effort to ensure the boat is seaworthy and fully operational for future passages.
