Jorman continues a sailboat restoration project by cleaning the bilge and inspecting critical systems. After manually removing sludge and debris from the bilge with sponges, he identifies several failed components, including a broken bilge pump and three seized through-hull valves that require replacement. He uses Mistolín, a kitchen degreaser, to clean the hull and remove rust, though he warns that the acidic product can damage gelcoat if not rinsed thoroughly. The inspection reveals that the boat’s electrical system is largely dismantled and requires a complete rewire. Upon opening the engine compartment, he discovers a three-cylinder Volvo Penta engine that appears to be in near-new condition, though some engine mount bolts are sheared off. The project faces delays due to a lack of functional tools, specifically a broken vacuum cleaner. Jorman emphasizes that a thorough bilge inspection is the most important step when purchasing a used boat, as it reveals the true condition of the hull, plumbing, and engine.
