Ce que couvre cette vidéo

To mount a winch on the roof of the boat, the crew installs six steel crush tubes into the structural ribs.0:21 Because the overhead drilling requires more force than manual pressure can provide, the owner constructs a lever-based jig that uses a wooden arm to drive a 25mm hole saw through the steel.3:32 When the hole saw’s center pin repeatedly bends, the crew replaces it with the hardened steel shaft of a flathead screwdriver.8:07 To weld the crush tubes into the ribs without damaging the solar panels mounted on the opposite side of the roof, the owner uses a series of small MIG tack welds, cooling the metal with compressed air between each pass to keep the surface temperature below 80 degrees Celsius.12:15 The project also includes replacing a spun-hub propeller on the dinghy’s outboard with a four-blade model to improve low-end acceleration when carrying heavy loads.0:52
