Cosa tratta questo video

The owner of the sailboat Squib performs several refit tasks, including installing antenna mounts, routing electrical conduits, and finishing interior cabinetry. To mount an AIS antenna and a radar detector on the stern arch, he fabricates custom aluminum brackets and drills mounting holes, noting that the radar detector’s original design required rail mounting.2:23 He installs a waterproof cable gland on the arch to feed the antenna and radar cables into the vessel, using a cable tie as a makeshift fish tape to pull the wires through the arch.4:47 Inside the galley, he sands and fills fiberglass laminates with a mixture of epoxy, Aerosil, and microballoons to create smooth surfaces for future paneling.7:25 He also installs flexible conduit for refrigerator wiring, lighting, and 230V outlets, securing the tubing with epoxy and wooden blocks.12:55 To facilitate panel installation, he shapes and glues wooden trim strips beneath the galley windows.10:30 The work concludes with the owner and a friend applying a final layer of thickened epoxy to seal the galley surfaces.16:07
