Qué cubre este vídeo
Trevor and Kat perform several maintenance and upgrade projects on their boat, Sea Dream of Clyde, while house-sitting. Trevor replaces an older Standard Horizon radio with a new AIS-capable unit, which requires widening the existing console cutout and fashioning custom wooden mounting blocks to ensure a flush fit.0:14 He performs an oil change on the engine, cleaning the existing washable oil and air filters with diesel fuel while noting the need for future spare replacements.3:50 The primary structural project involves repairing a cracked, delaminated fiberglass dodger.6:15 Trevor removes the dodger from the boat, excavates rotted wood core, injects epoxy to fill voids, and bores out bolt holes to fill with epoxy before re-drilling to prevent future water intrusion.14:05 Simultaneously, Kat constructs new bridge deck cushions using foam and Sunbrella fabric, designing them in three sections for versatile use as seating or sleeping surfaces.15:11 The project concludes with the dodger awaiting final sanding and painting.19:44
