Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the catamaran *Squib*, currently docked at Mesolonghi Marina in Greece, performs maintenance on the starboard engine and fabricates a new cockpit enclosure.0:11 To replace the leaking raw water pump, the owner lifts the engine approximately 10 centimeters using wooden blocks and a pallet to gain access to the pump housing and oil drain plug.16:47 After failing to drain the oil in the confined space, the crew removes the engine entirely from its mountings to complete the pump installation.16:57 They compare the sealing methods of the old pump, which used a flat gasket, against the new unit, which utilizes a thicker O-ring, ultimately applying a liquid gasket sealant provided by a previous mechanic.22:10 The engine is reconnected, including fuel lines, electrical plugs, and the decompression lever.23:46 Simultaneously, the partner fabricates a custom cockpit enclosure, installing Tenax fasteners and tensioning the fabric panels to the deck.9:23 The crew also organizes the vessel's storage, installs new fire extinguishers, and maintains the starter battery using a small 10-watt solar panel and an Otronic solar regulator.7:46
