The owners of the sailboat *Bohemia* haul the vessel out of the water at Astillero Cabrales in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, to perform extensive maintenance after three years of continuous cruising.1:10 The primary repair involves the sail drive, which shows severe corrosion and emulsified oil, indicating water intrusion.9:40 The owner removes the unit using a slide hammer, separates the engine from the transmission, and discovers the rubber bellows—a critical seal preventing water ingress—is approximately 12 years old and requires replacement.7:38 Additionally, the crew scrapes heavy barnacle growth from the hull and keel.23:11 To address long-standing plumbing issues, they replace seized bronze through-hull valves with Marelon composite fittings, reinforcing the installation with custom-cut G10 backing plates to prevent future corrosion and structural failure.27:30 The project highlights the necessity of learning diverse mechanical skills, such as engine alignment and composite fabrication, to maintain a vessel during long-term travel.20:36 Regular maintenance of seals and through-hull fittings remains essential to prevent catastrophic water ingress and system failure.
