Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Lady K repairs a transducer mounting hole in the V-hull of her sailboat during a COVID-19 lockdown in Ontario.Watch To create a flat, level mounting surface for the transducer, she builds up the hull thickness on both sides of the hole using chop strand mat and polyester resin.3:07 She chooses polyester over epoxy for its lower cost, faster cure time, and compatibility with the boat's original 1980s construction.7:46 After sanding the area down to bare fiberglass, she uses a heat gun to maintain curing temperatures in the bilge locker during cool weather.6:53 She plans to finish the installation by block-sanding the built-up glass pads to create a flush mating surface for the transducer nut and washer, then sealing the assembly with 4200 sealant and an epoxy barrier coat.12:03 The project proceeds despite the closure of her business and uncertainty regarding the yacht club's scheduled launch date.14:06 Building up fiberglass layers around a V-hull hole provides a stable, flat base for through-hull transducer installation.
