A 1987 Warrior 38, *Athena*, undergoes a cabin top refit involving painting, wet sanding, and port light reinstallation.0:09 After applying five coats of Sigma Dura 550 paint, the owner wet sands the surface using 600 and 800 grit sandpaper with a Bosch GPO 14 polisher and 3M cutting compound to achieve a high-gloss finish.0:51 To ensure the boat is weather-tight before moving it outdoors, the owner installs new port lights and a Vetus Magnus 5151 deck hatch.15:30 The port lights are bedded using a butyl-based caulk, which is applied in two thin beads around the mounting holes and cleaned with white spirit.18:30 The owner notes that the Vetus Magnus hatch is dimensionally identical to the Lumar Ocean series but more cost-effective.3:06 The process requires careful sanding to avoid burning through the paint on edges, and the owner uses a soft interface pad to protect the backing pad and improve surface contact.6:20
