Qué cubre este vídeo

Restoration of a 1989 Liberty 458 involves structural repairs to the transom and bulwarks, primarily focused on moisture remediation and hardware mounting.▶ 0:09 To dry the water-saturated transom, a dehumidifier and space heaters proved insufficient, prompting the use of a vacuum pump to draw moisture from the fiberglass.▶ 0:59 Because the surface was too scratched for a vacuum bag seal, a thin layer of resin was applied to create an airtight surface.▶ 9:23 For the bulwark repairs, the owner plans to fill voids left by rotten plywood with a pour-in waterproof compound.▶ 12:51 To reattach 24 stanchion bases, he is designing custom 1-inch thick G10 backing plates.▶ 13:25 He uses 3D-printed cylinders to align existing, inconsistently drilled holes, scans the parts, and models the plates in FreeCAD for fabrication.▶ 18:58 Additionally, the project includes installing a Hydrovane self-steering system, for which he has received the H and A mounting brackets.▶ 2:12 The owner intends to use a 2-inch pipe as a dummy shaft to position these brackets on the rebuilt transom.▶ 2:43
