During a 36-day haul-out in Salvador, the owner of the sailboat Balanço performs a comprehensive structural and mechanical survey to prepare for future offshore passages.0:29 The inspection focuses on the underwater running gear, including the propeller, shaft, and rudder assembly.1:06 Technicians identify electrolysis damage on the propeller and shaft, necessitating the fabrication of a new bronze nut and the replacement of a 17-year-old propeller.22:09 The rudder is removed to inspect the quadrant and shaft for fatigue, cracks, and electrolysis, confirming the integrity of the assembly.3:52 The hull, previously treated for osmosis, receives a new application of Coppercoat antifouling, while the propeller and shaft are coated with PropOne, a non-toxic silicone polymer designed to reduce drag and prevent marine growth.35:02 Cosmetic upgrades include repainting the hull stripes and updating the vessel's name to Balanço 1 to comply with maritime registration requirements.32:39 The project demonstrates that routine inspection of hidden components like the rudder quadrant and shaft alignment is essential for long-term vessel reliability.
