Qué cubre este vídeo

Brett and Jade Evans replace their boat’s failing battery bank with five 8D lithium batteries while preparing for the Annapolis Boat Show.3:26 The project requires removing three dead batteries, grinding down frayed fiberglass edges in the bilge, and applying a new finish to the compartment.3:28 After a previous attempt to paint the bilge with epoxy paint failed due to poor adhesion on peel-ply surfaces, the crew opts to apply a two-part epoxy primer followed by a wax-added gelcoat.11:29 The process involves fairing the surface with Total Boat compound, sanding, and applying the primer and gelcoat to achieve a durable, production-style finish.12:43 During the project, the crew experiences a total instrument and autopilot failure while sailing to a new anchorage, forcing manual steering.1:55 The bilge work is complicated by a vacuum hose detachment that spreads dust throughout the galley.14:31 Proper surface preparation and the use of wax-added resin are essential for ensuring a successful cure when applying gelcoat over epoxy primer.19:52
