What this video covers

Sven Yrvind prepares his small boat for transport in Västervik, Sweden, by installing temporary wheels to move the vessel a few hundred meters.0:34 He secures the wheel assembly using bolts and double nuts, locking the nuts against each other to prevent loosening during the short transit.0:41 Because the threaded portion of the bolt does not reach the bottom, he grinds down a section of the hardware to ensure a proper fit.1:10 While preparing the boat, he also consults with Mohamed at a local wheel service shop to determine if his old iPhones can be repurposed as spare navigation or communication devices.Watch The wheel installation process involves aligning the assembly with existing holes on the starboard side of the hull.0:50 This setup serves only for short-distance movement rather than long-term use.0:34
