Peter and Sabina perform several structural and cosmetic refit tasks on their boat, *Squib*. To support a 2.5-kilowatt electric outboard motor, Peter constructs a reinforced mounting bracket using epoxy and wooden dowels for added shear strength.1:34 He drills parallel holes with a drill press, bonds the assembly with thickened epoxy, and plans to finish the mount with fiberglass matting for waterproofing.1:53 Simultaneously, the crew modifies the roof support structure by replacing a temporary wooden brace with a permanent epoxy-bonded pedestal, using plastic film to prevent the stainless steel column from adhering to the base during the curing process.5:41
Cosmetic work includes sanding the hull with 400-grit paper to remove dust particles and debris from the previous paint application.12:11 Sabina prepares the deck for KiwiGrip application by filling and smoothing surfaces.15:16 Additionally, Peter reinforces the anchor locker lid with extra epoxy to correct a 3-millimeter clearance issue.14:21 The crew also begins creating templates for new cockpit flooring using heavy-duty plastic sheeting.17:03
