What this video covers
Aboard a Sunreef 62 anchored in Saint Martin, the crew performs several maintenance tasks, including mounting scuba bottle holders and installing underwater lights. To secure six steel scuba tanks, the crew uses 3D-printed brackets mounted to the boat’s interior, replacing worn-out elastic cords with thicker, more stable bungee cord and hooks.▶ 3:49 The crew also restores an older, two-burner propane barbecue salvaged from a used boat shop in Mallorca, cleaning the dials with PB Blaster to ensure functionality in 15-to-20-knot winds.▶ 16:23 The electrical project involves installing new underwater lights by pulling wiring through the engine bays.▶ 6:40 After failing to trace the boat’s original, disconnected wiring, the crew runs new power lines from the starboard to the port engine room using a spare wire as a pull-through.▶ 17:10 The installation is completed during intermittent rain showers, requiring the crew to repeatedly seal the engine room hatches.▶ 8:12 The project concludes with a successful test of the multi-color LED underwater lights.▶ 18:54
