After the sailboat Epiphany was beached, Gordon recovers a Sailrite LSZ-1 sewing machine that took on water while stored on the port bow floor.Watch Visible surface rust and standing water inside the machine raised doubts about the motor and electrical components.0:29 The recovery process runs two fans on the open machine for several days, then a liberal application of WD-40 to displace moisture and free rusted mechanical parts, followed by heavy machine oil once everything moves freely.0:57 Gordon removes the top cover to lubricate the upper works, which show no rust, and notes the motor's elevated position on the machine as a factor in its survival.2:34 After hand-turning the mechanism throughout to free it up, he powers the machine on.3:09 It runs.3:25 The sequence confirms that a water-soaked sewing machine can survive if dried thoroughly with forced air, treated aggressively with WD-40, and re-oiled before the first powered test.
