Qué cubre este vídeo

Steve and Robin haul the boat Arabella out of the water in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, for a brief hull inspection and propeller removal before winter storage.0:14 The crew removes the feathering propeller for transport to New England, where it will undergo routine maintenance, including blade removal and internal gear lubrication.4:32 To prevent galvanic corrosion while the propeller is off, Steve installs a large sacrificial anode directly onto the propeller shaft, ensuring clean metal-to-metal contact by scrubbing the surface with a pad and putty knife.7:33 During the hull inspection, the crew identifies areas of scraped bottom paint on the ballast keel and the sacrificial worm shoe, both resulting from previous groundings.10:29 Steve determines that the exposed areas on the ballast keel and the plastic worm shoe do not require immediate repair, deferring repainting until the spring.11:07 The crew cleans barnacles from the hull before returning the vessel to the water for winter mooring.9:23
