The crew of the pocket catamaran Squib removes the port engine to service the unit and rebuild the engine mounts.0:04 With the engine compartment cleared, the refit focuses on cleaning the bilge, removing abandoned electrical wiring, and sealing exposed wood.7:25 The team identifies and removes obsolete components, including a multi-battery isolator and an old windlass switch, while rerouting existing cables through accessible conduits.5:13 To reinforce the deck area around the winch, the crew installs a pipe sleeve, secures it with screws to prevent rotation, and laminates the assembly with fiberglass and epoxy.19:17 Because the bilge wood showed signs of surface softening, the team cleans the area, treats exposed metal with rust converter, and applies protective paint before sealing the gaps with fiberglass matting.8:42 The work requires sanding in confined spaces and precise measurements to ensure structural integrity for the winch mounting.9:29 Proper surface preparation and the use of epoxy on gelcoat ensure a durable bond for the new structural reinforcements.19:17
