The owner of the sailboat Squib performs several refit tasks, including installing antenna mounts, routing electrical conduits, and finishing interior cabinetry. To mount an AIS antenna and a radar detector on the stern arch, he fabricates custom aluminum brackets and drills mounting holes, noting that the radar detector’s original design required rail mounting.2:23 He installs a waterproof cable gland on the arch to feed the antenna and radar cables into the vessel, using a cable tie as a makeshift fish tape to pull the wires through the arch.4:47 Inside the galley, he sands and fills fiberglass laminates with a mixture of epoxy, Aerosil, and microballoons to create smooth surfaces for future paneling.7:25 He also installs flexible conduit for refrigerator wiring, lighting, and 230V outlets, securing the tubing with epoxy and wooden blocks.12:55 To facilitate panel installation, he shapes and glues wooden trim strips beneath the galley windows.10:30 The work concludes with the owner and a friend applying a final layer of thickened epoxy to seal the galley surfaces.16:07
