Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the 38-ft sailboat *Checkers* (formerly *Beyond*) performs a complete overhaul of their drive leg in Suva, Fiji, after discovering emulsified oil caused by a damaged oil seal. The repair requires a full disassembly of the 1993-era unit, which reveals a worn rubber spline and the need for replacement bearings.6:37 Because local suppliers in Fiji cannot source the specific Imperial-sized bearings, the crew orders replacements from the UK at a cost of £580.9:19 While awaiting parts, the crew strips the drive leg housing, applies an anti-corrosive metal primer, and finishes the exterior with 13 cans of gloss black spray paint.20:48 During the maintenance period, the owners lose access to their YouTube channel due to a phishing email, but regain control after four days with assistance from another creator.14:28 The project concludes with a formal boat renaming ceremony and the successful arrival of the correct bearings via FedEx.15:33
