Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A 44-foot hurricane-damaged PDQ catamaran continues to take on water despite the installation of temporary plywood hatch covers.Watch After sealing all deck hardware, including cleats and deck fills, the owner identified the source of the persistent leaks as a compromised deck-to-hull joint.17:35 An inspection using a borescope camera revealed water ingress behind the head liner, confirming that the joint is not glassed over as previously assumed.17:35 Because the head is a molded insert installed before the deck, the joint remains inaccessible from the interior, necessitating a potential demolition of the head compartment to facilitate a permanent repair.18:28 The owner used a Bluetti Elite 200 V2 portable power station to run an angle grinder and vacuum for fiberglass repairs on the port keel, noting the unit maintained a 70% charge during the work.2:25 Future efforts will focus on developing a strategy to access and reseal the deck-to-hull joint to ensure the interior remains dry before proceeding with further refit tasks.
