To replace a temporary ladder, they construct wooden stairs with a 9-inch run and 8.5-inch rise, finishing the treads with high-visibility yellow non-slip paint and adding a handrail for safety.5:22 The crew organizes a mobile tool trailer, installing shelving and a dedicated charging station for power tools.10:52 To address water intrusion in the keels, they drill drainage holes into the fiberglass, identifying significant standing water in both the port and starboard sides.14:25 A 1600 CFM fan from Harbor Freight is positioned to circulate air and accelerate the drying process.15:13 The owners plan to install inspection ports and new bilge pumps once the keels are fully dry.16:27
