Qué cubre este vídeo
A persistent air leak in a dinghy tube and a spun propeller hub require repairs while anchored in the Bahamas.Watch After failing to seal the tube leak with standard PVC patch glue, the repair is completed using 3M 5200 adhesive sealant.0:51 The dinghy is hoisted using block and tackle on the davits to keep the patch dry during the 24-hour cure time.1:10 The propeller failure occurred after striking a submerged vessel at extreme low tide, which damaged the rubber shock-absorbing bushing inside the hub.0:22 A replacement propeller is installed to restore propulsion.1:27 The damaged original propeller is salvaged by drilling three holes and securing the hub with screws to create a functional backup.2:14 Proper curing time for adhesive sealants is essential for maintaining a watertight bond on inflatable dinghy materials.
