Qué cubre este vídeo

A 44-foot catamaran undergoing a DIY refit in a Florida boatyard prepares for a 900-mile transit to North Carolina. Before launching, the crew uses a Garmin Striker Cast portable sonar to map depths at the local boat ramp, confirming sufficient clearance for the vessel.6:33 Maintenance tasks include replacing broken stern and anchor lights, installing new lacing strips on the trampolines, and applying a new name to the transom.9:03 The project also involves installing a QUICK QNC CHC windlass chain counter, which requires a custom 3D-printed surface mount case to avoid cutting a large hole in the helm console.14:41 Additionally, the crew installs an Airmar in-hull depth transducer in the port hull using TotalBoat Seal, opting to test this non-recommended adhesive as an alternative to the manufacturer-specified silicone.11:07 The boat remains in the yard awaiting the removal of a neighboring vessel to clear a path for launching.7:43
