Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The refit of the vessel Squib involves multiple structural and electrical upgrades, including the construction of a secondary battery box to facilitate easier charging. The owner builds this temporary box from OSB scraps to house batteries that previously required frequent manual transport.1:12 To optimize space, the owner uses a custom-made probe to measure bilge depth, ensuring the box fits in a 26-centimeter clearance area.0:54 Additional tasks include removing obsolete gas lines, sanding interior walls in the starboard hull, and preparing surfaces for future filler and paint.5:38 The owner also refurbishes two hatch covers by filling holes left by a previous owner’s stern anchor setup, using thickened epoxy to seal the gaps before applying Kiwigrip.10:46 Work is frequently adjusted based on weather conditions, such as avoiding deckhouse sanding when rain is forecast to prevent water ingress.9:01 The project utilizes a Makita random orbital sander, which the owner notes has proven durable throughout the ongoing refit.15:03
