A bronze steering quadrant on a cruising sailboat requires professional welding after the component sustains damage from a collision with rocks.4:13 The owner removes the quadrant, which exhibits a one-millimeter gap and corrosion, and takes it to Spice Island Marine in Grenada for reinforcement.5:41 The shop welds a thicker metal bracket to the assembly to eliminate play between the steering wheel and the rudder, costing 350 EC (approximately 120 USD).17:41 While awaiting the repair, the owner performs routine maintenance, including an engine oil and filter change, replacing an alternator belt, and installing new chain markers at 80, 100, and 120 feet.11:12 The owner also repairs a chip in the rudder using underwater epoxy and sources spare parts, including impellers and sealant, from Island Water World in St. George.13:10 The project concludes with the reinstallation of the reinforced steering quadrant, restoring the vessel's steering integrity ahead of an approaching hurricane.19:02
