Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the wooden boat Yabá installs a new transducer and bilge pump through-hulls while at a shipyard.1:34 Following the manufacturer’s manual, they position the transducer in the forward third of the hull, 15 to 30 centimeters from the keel, to avoid interference from bubbles or ballast.2:19 Because the hull is thick hardwood, they drill a pilot hole and use a jigsaw to enlarge the opening, finishing the edges with a file to ensure a precise fit.8:21 They seal the raw wood edges with epoxy resin before final installation.14:43 Separately, the crew replaces an undersized bilge pump switch with a new, caged automatic switch rated for 16 amps to accommodate high-capacity pumps.11:08 They also drill a new through-hull for a bilge discharge, using a chisel to clear wood when the hole saw depth proves insufficient for the hull thickness.22:05 The crew plans to finalize the through-hull connections and apply antifouling paint after the epoxy cures.14:50
