Key mechanical tasks include servicing both engines, installing bilge pumps, and mounting a wind vane steering system linked to a tiller pilot.7:14 Electrical upgrades involve installing a 1400-watt solar array, replacing old wiring, mounting an AIS and radar detector, and setting up a 24-switch electrical panel.2:22 The crew is also replacing window seals, installing new glass panes, and outfitting the galley with a fridge, stove, and seawater pump.20:19 Interior work includes insulating and finishing the ceilings, installing a new head, and building a custom sleeping berth over the port engine.2:17 While the couple debates which tasks are essential for being "seaworthy" versus cosmetic, they aim to complete the refit by early August to maximize daylight hours for their upcoming passage.37:09
