The crew of the custom aluminum catamaran build, Delos 2.0, focuses on integrating serviceability and maintenance into the vessel's design through custom metal fabrication.0:15 The team constructs Dorad-style ventilation boxes for the engine rooms using a metal press to bend 3mm aluminum, ensuring the design allows airflow while trapping water.9:59 They install Vetus stainless steel vents with plastic inserts to prevent galvanic corrosion.16:03 Additional fabrication projects include custom ladder treads for the forepeak access and a watertight bulkhead door sourced from Tasmania.22:20 To improve engine maintenance, the crew designs a fuel filter mounting bracket that incorporates a drip tray to catch spills during oil changes.23:46 The build also includes installing aluminum-framed access panels in the subflooring to reach bilge pumps, using a router to inset trim for a flush, finished fit.27:20 These design choices prioritize long-term accessibility for routine tasks like engine servicing and bilge maintenance. Thoughtful, custom-fabricated details significantly improve the long-term maintainability and finish of a complex boat build.
