¿Qué cubre este video?
The crew of a Snowgoose 37 Elite catamaran performs a haul-out at the Royal Suva Yacht Club in Suva to address hull maintenance and mechanical issues.▶ 0:24 After grinding out osmosis blisters and applying a new barrier coat and three layers of anti-foul paint, they discover rotten bolts in the rudder shoe, which they replace using Sikaflex 291 and threadlock.▶ 2:06 They also attempt to repair a bent propeller by tapping it into shape with a block of wood.▶ 4:17 Upon relaunching, the vessel fails to engage reverse gear because the drive leg mechanism lacks sufficient tension to lock into place.▶ 15:55 The crew diagnoses a faulty spring in the drive leg assembly and implements a temporary fix using a bungee cord to manually hold the lever in the locked position.▶ 18:09 Despite the service, the drive leg continues to emit a persistent whirring noise.▶ 17:42 The crew also struggles to source oxalic acid locally to remove stubborn anti-foul stains from the hull.▶ 13:02
