To improve the holding power of an aging Beriant 23 self-tailing winch, remove the internal spacer plate to decrease the gap between the aluminum plates, allowing for better compression of the halyard line.2:29 For engine cooling issues caused by scale buildup, circulate a three-to-one solution of Barnacle Buster through the raw water intake and heat exchanger, letting the mixture sit for 24 hours before flushing.8:14 When repairing a seam leak on a Westmarine PRU-3 inflatable dinghy, use a two-part Polymarine PVC adhesive, ensuring the fabric is cleaned and softened with acetone before applying two thin, tacky coats.10:20 After applying the adhesive, maintain firm pressure on the bond for the duration of the 48-hour cure time.13:19 These maintenance tasks, along with clearing a fouled propeller and sewing custom foredeck cushions, address common wear and tear encountered during seasonal cruising. Successful descaling of the cooling system restores engine operating temperatures to 180 degrees Fahrenheit under load.18:03
