Hva denne videoen dekker
The owners of a cruising sailboat are replacing compromised fuel and water storage systems by removing old, leaking bladders and cutting out original steel tanks.2:37 The previous owner had modified the original tanks by removing their tops and inserting flexible bladders, which failed and leaked into the bilge.6:46 To prepare for new custom tanks, the crew uses a manual hand pump to empty the remaining diesel, then cuts the bladder material into pieces for removal.5:11 They also remove oil-soaked spray foam insulation from the bilge area to clear access to the bilge pump.7:33 After creating a wooden template to ensure the new tank dimensions allow for passage through the companionway, they commission a custom stainless steel water tank with internal baffles and a draw pipe.12:55 Additionally, the crew performs minor repairs on a broken cabin door latch by installing a temporary screw to serve as a strike plate.10:42
