Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A Beneteau Oceanis 50 undergoes a comprehensive refit in Australia, focusing on hull maintenance, through-hull replacement, and propeller servicing before a scheduled splash. The crew replaces aging Marlon through-hull valves with True Design fittings, citing concerns over the durability and reliability of the previous installation.▶ 4:17 Maintenance tasks include applying primer and two coats of antifouling paint to the hull, while the bow thrusters receive similar treatment.▶ 11:20 The crew services the Maxprop propeller by flushing old grease and applying PropSpeed to ensure optimal performance.▶ 1:31 To prevent engine flooding, the crew installs water intake strainers in specific orientations: engine and generator intakes are positioned to create suction, while the shaft seal intake is oriented to force water flow while underway.▶ 17:28 The project concludes with hull polishing, the application of a protective sealant, and the installation of new stainless steel pins for the bow thrusters.▶ 22:40 The refit also includes minor rust remediation on the anchor using zinc spray.▶ 20:42
