What this video covers
Peter refits the interior of the catamaran Squib, focusing on installing a new toilet, mounting an electrical cabinet door, and building a custom shelf for amateur radio equipment. To accommodate a larger Jasco manual toilet, he cuts a new opening in the existing fibreglass pedestal and constructs a plywood box extension, which he plans to seal with fibreglass and epoxy.5:48 He modifies the mounting position to improve access to the toilet's base bolts, replacing a cramped, difficult-to-reach original configuration.8:18 In the aft cabin, Peter installs a door to conceal the electrical distribution panel, sizing it to allow for a fold-down desk surface.11:09 He measures the space for an amateur radio and a Pactor modem, opting to mount them on a hinged panel for easier maintenance access.13:46 He also installs a storage shelf in the starboard hull, securing it with screws and epoxy to bridge gaps against the hull's curved surface.17:05 Peter plans to finish these components off-site before final installation.14:56
