They install new stainless steel stern cleats and fairleads, using butyl tape to seal the fittings against water ingress.1:50 The installation requires two people to secure the through-bolts, with one person working on deck and the other inside the hull to tighten the nuts.3:30 The team also uses thickened epoxy to fill gaps and create fillets in new kitchen drawers and seals exposed plywood edges near the rudder fittings with a thin layer of epoxy to prevent moisture damage.0:25 Additional maintenance includes oiling the new kitchen countertop, applying yacht oil to the rub rails, and sealing brass lamps with clear lacquer.2:18 The crew sources hardware and supplies from a marine dealer and a local hardware store, noting challenges with bolt lengths and thread compatibility during the assembly process.0:59
