Cosa tratta questo video

Pat and Frankie replace a leaking seacock on their boat while it remains in the water.12:07 The valve, which controlled the sink drain, had seized in the closed position due to corrosion and debris.26:39 To perform the repair, a diver enters the water to plug the hull opening from the outside while the crew disconnects the hose and removes the old valve from inside the bilge.16:51 The team uses a temporary plug to minimize water ingress during the swap, resulting in only about 1.5 liters of water entering the hull.25:22 After installing the new valve and a new hose, they confirm the seal is watertight.21:27 Following the repair, the crew conducts a test sail to evaluate their newly installed energy system, specifically monitoring the output of a Remoran hydrogenerator via their Victron monitoring setup.29:33 Despite light and inconsistent winds, the hydrogenerator successfully registers a charge of 24 watts.33:47 The crew also performs routine maintenance, including sanding teak deck trim and cleaning the engine room bilge.5:44
