Cosa tratta questo video

A solo sailor replaces a leaking PSS dripless shaft seal while the boat remains in the water at Spanish Wells, Bahamas.3:58 After the bilge pump failed and the seal leaked significantly, the sailor opted for an in-water repair because the local yard could not accommodate the boat's 5-foot-10-inch draft.0:20 The process involved disconnecting the transmission from the shaft, removing the old seal, and sliding on the replacement.3:46 A fellow cruiser assisted by pulling the propeller from the outside while the sailor reassembled the components from inside the bilge.6:00 Despite initial concerns about water ingress, the inflow remained manageable throughout the procedure.5:37 Following the repair, the sailor motored seven miles to Egg Island before continuing toward the Abacos.6:41 The transit involved navigating through squalls and shifting winds, requiring careful monitoring of the new seal.7:52
