Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Jorman works to seal a boat’s deck and cockpit to prevent rainwater from flooding the bilge. He installs a temporary window over an open deck aperture using screws, though he notes that several mounting holes are oversized or misaligned, requiring future structural repair.11:48 To address water ingress through damaged deck hardware, he removes two broken vents and seals the remaining holes from old winches with adhesive tape to keep the underlying core dry.14:58 He identifies a weak, potentially delaminated section of the cockpit sole that will eventually require cutting out the fiberglass skin for reinforcement.18:16
For bilge maintenance, he utilizes a portable Johnson Bilge Mate pump modified with a 3-meter cable and a quick-connect plug, allowing for rapid deployment in different areas of the vessel.9:23 He also seeks advice on removing a stubborn, hardened contact adhesive residue left on the interior fiberglass walls after the removal of original vinyl liners.2:51 He finds that sanding the residue is ineffective because it gums up the abrasive, and solvents like acetone have failed to dissolve it.3:08
