¿Qué cubre este video?

Adam and Luke, sailing in Suva, Fiji, attempt to repair a noisy drive leg on their boat by drying out in the mud at the Royal Suva Yacht Club. After sourcing replacement bearings from the UK, the pair initially plans to remove the unit themselves by grounding the vessel at low tide. They struggle to extract the drive leg due to seized bolts and a lack of specialized tools, including a heavy-duty hammer and proper chisels. The attempt to disassemble the unit in the mud results in stripped Allen head bolts and damaged screwdrivers. After failing to remove the internal components and fearing further damage to the assembly, they solicit quotes from local engineering shops. They ultimately hire a professional technician at a nearby dive center workshop, who successfully strips the drive leg and removes the seized stainless steel pins using a fully equipped facility. The experience leads the owners to outsource complex mechanical repairs to local professionals to avoid project delays and further equipment damage.
