Cosa tratta questo video

The owner of the sailboat *Bohemia* performs emergency repairs on a damaged Volvo Penta sail drive while awaiting replacement parts.0:52 After sandblasting the corroded aluminum housing to bare metal, he fills surface porosity with epoxy, sands the finish, and applies a two-part epoxy barrier coat from Total Boat to protect the submerged metal.8:49 He also replaces the sail drive’s oil seals, which prevent water ingress and oil leakage, using a DIY approach with PVC pipe and wood blocks in place of specialized Volvo Penta tools.32:21 The repair process includes installing new O-rings and shims to maintain proper gear tension.33:26 Additionally, the owner restores the cockpit teak using a three-step Total Boat system—acid cleaner, neutralizer, and teak sealer—to remove surface grime and restore color.15:51 The project concludes with the installation of a new fishing rod holder system from Fish Helm on the stern rail.28:43 The owner notes that while these repairs are temporary measures to maintain mobility, the ultimate goal remains replacing the damaged drive unit once the new component arrives.6:02
