Ben completes the engine cooling system installation on Yabá, a wooden boat undergoing a refit. He installs a two-inch through-hull valve connected to a one-and-a-half-inch water filter using a brass adapter, sealing the threads with PTFE tape and a liquid gasket designed for diesel engines.6:55 He replaces standard hose clamps with heavy-duty versions to ensure a secure, leak-proof connection for the raw water intake.9:45 The engine setup now includes the inlet, filter, water pump, and oil-removal tap, with only the exhaust extension and alternator belt remaining.8:40 Additionally, the crew installs custom stainless steel supports for a deck bimini, which spans the area between the main mast and the furling system.11:35 The bimini provides a shaded lounge area on the foredeck and clears space in the pilot house.13:30 Ben uses improvised fasteners for the bimini mounts, planning to add cleats for tensioning the fabric to prevent water pooling.14:29
