What this video covers

The crew of the catamaran Mistertong performs routine maintenance and repairs while anchored in a bay, despite local restrictions on anchoring in the area.8:41 After struggling for months with an unstable engine idle, the owner uses an ultrasonic cleaner borrowed from fellow cruisers to clean the carburetor.24:17 The process involves multiple 480-second cycles in a water and dish soap solution, which successfully clears debris and restores the engine's idle.28:19 Simultaneously, the crew cleans a rusted fishing gaff with sandpaper and prepares a replacement batten for the mainsail.27:07 The vessel remains at anchor through heavy rain and squalls, which bring significant debris into the water and temporarily delay plans to relocate.35:39 After the weather clears, the crew moves the boat to a new, more secluded anchorage to join other cruisers, where they spend time snorkeling and fishing.41:59 The successful carburetor cleaning confirms that ultrasonic treatment can resolve persistent idle issues caused by internal fouling.
