Dan and Kika remove the fiberglass cabin liner from their boat, Uma, to address trapped moisture, mildew, and hidden structural issues.0:44 The liner, originally installed as a non-structural aesthetic component, proved difficult to remove due to extensive resin bonding, requiring five days of manual prying and intensive overhead grinding.26:45 During the demolition, the crew discovered significant condensation and water damage behind the liner, which had caused localized crystallization and rot.5:38 Removing the liner provides full access to the underside of the deck and hull, allowing for future inspection of leaks and easier installation of wiring and lighting.6:32 To restore structural rigidity lost by removing the liner, the crew plans to apply a new layer of fiberglass to the cabin top and install cosmetic panels.23:50 They also intend to re-core the side decks and replace the existing port lights.24:58 The project aims to eliminate the structural creaking and noise that previously made sleeping aboard difficult during offshore passages.27:31
