Qué cubre este vídeo
Mads installs two new deck hatches on the 30-year-old sailboat Athena, resolving a previous installation delay caused by incorrect metric machine screw lengths.1:30 After securing the hatches, he investigates water accumulation beneath the cabin sole, initially suspecting condensation from aluminum port light frames.3:59 Removing the cabin sole reveals significant water pooling and a faulty drainage design where a wooden bung blocks water from reaching the bilge.15:21 To address the moisture and prepare for future engine and sail drive removal, he removes a corroded, heavy metal water tank from the saloon area.9:52 The removal process involves disconnecting 30-year-old hoses and unbolting the tank from the hull.12:19 Inspection of the underlying compartment reveals accumulated debris and frozen water in the lines, prompting a deep cleaning of the bilge and sub-floor area.13:45 The project concludes with plans to paint the newly accessible space to eliminate lingering odors and prepare the vessel for summer use.16:28
