The crew of the sailboat Catalpa performs maintenance tasks while hauled out in a Mexican boatyard. After a high-water alarm triggers, the captain discovers the primary bilge pump has failed due to excessive back pressure caused by an improper hose reduction and a non-return valve.3:01 The planned repair involves installing a Whale pump with a sensor head in the bilge, followed by a secondary pump mounted one foot higher using a full-diameter 1.5-inch hose to ensure proper flow.3:54 Additionally, the crew installs a new exhaust hose for the generator, a project requiring the removal of interior cabinetry to route the pipe from the engine room to the stern.5:15 They utilize a 38mm hose to fit a 40mm fitting, achieving a tight seal.9:55 The crew tests the generator and other onboard systems, including the sea chest and toilets, confirming functionality before their planned return to the water.12:15
