A C&C Yachts 39 owner repairs tears in an aluminum-floor dinghy while at anchor in the Bahamas. The floor leaks due to abrasion against the aluminum ribs caused by beaching and davit contact.▶ 1:31 The repair involves wire-brushing the damaged areas, applying 3M 5200 adhesive sealant between the floor and aluminum, and covering the tears with thick rubber patches reinforced by fiberglass matting.▶ 5:32 When 3M 5200 supplies run low, the owner supplements the repair with E6000 adhesive and a multi-purpose cement.▶ 9:47 The dinghy remains hoisted on the davits during the process to allow access from the swim platform.▶ 2:36 After an hour of curing, the dinghy is lowered and remains dry.▶ 11:54 To prevent future damage, the owner secures the dinghy with a three-point system consisting of two ropes and a chain to minimize movement against the davits.▶ 14:50 The owner also notes the process for ordering marine supplies to the Bahamas via Amazon and DHL.▶ 10:00
