Cosa tratta questo video

The crew removes three 40-year-old bronze thru-hulls from the V-berth of the S/V SeaSprite while docked in the Chesapeake Bay.0:19 The components include the raw water intake for the head, the head holding tank discharge, and the head sink drain.0:31 A grinder cuts the thru-hulls from the exterior, allowing for removal from the interior.0:42 Inspection reveals the wood backing plates for the intake and discharge are degraded, while the sink drain backing plate remains in good condition. Barnacle growth is present within the discharge fitting. Future refit plans for the V-berth include repairing a mini bulkhead in the anchor locker and installing dedicated anchor locker drains to prevent water from entering the bilge. The project will conclude with sanding and painting the area. Replacing aged bronze thru-hulls requires removing degraded wood backing plates and addressing drainage issues in the anchor locker.
