Refitting the interior of the boat involves sealing a redundant through-hull fitting, installing conduit for navigation lights, and refurbishing storage drawers. After filling a through-hull opening with epoxy, the surface requires sanding with an eccentric sander and an angle grinder to smooth the interior curvature.1:48 The project includes routing 20mm conduit for electrical wiring through existing structural voids, using heat to bend the tubing to fit tight corners before securing it with thickened epoxy.3:27
Work on the storage cabinetry involves removing slide rails, sanding the plywood surfaces, and replacing original fasteners with stainless steel screws to ensure smoother operation.6:40 To prevent debris accumulation, epoxy fillets are applied to the interior corners of the drawers, a process performed in two stages to ensure clean, three-dimensional transitions.9:07 Final tasks include mounting ceiling support struts, which requires precise alignment and repeated adjustments to accommodate internal reinforcements.12:25 The process emphasizes structural integrity and surface preparation before final painting.
