After purchasing a boat sight unseen in Tahiti, the new owners perform extensive maintenance to prepare the vessel for offshore sailing. They address a leaking chain plate by removing the deck cover and resealing the fitting with Sikaflex. To resolve a fresh water system failure, they bypass a clogged filter and troubleshoot the tank selection valves to restore flow.2:41 The crew also repairs a deck cleat that was ripped out during a 65-knot wind event, re-securing the hardware with new bolts and sealant.9:29 While inventorying a forward locker, they discover a cache of spare parts, including a windlass motor and propeller.11:49 Finally, they service a seized outboard engine by cleaning the carburetor jets and fuel filter, successfully restoring the motor to running condition.16:04 The project highlights the necessity of systematic repairs and inventory management when commissioning a neglected vessel for long-distance travel.
