After a seven-week haul-out in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, the crew of the 38-ft sailboat *Bohemia* replaces a damaged Volvo Penta sail drive.0:07 The original unit suffered severe degradation, forcing the owner to perform a temporary epoxy repair before a new replacement unit arrived.3:58 Installation requires removing the old drive, transferring internal gears and bearings to the new housing, and manually aligning the drive shaft with the engine, a process complicated by tight access and the need for precise mechanical alignment.0:56 The owner applies a two-part epoxy barrier coat and non-copper-based antifouling paint to the new sail drive to prevent galvanic corrosion.10:23 Following the installation, the crew verifies the integrity of the hull through-hulls and the sail drive seals before launching.19:29 Once back in the water, the vessel departs for a 120-mile passage, utilizing a Hydrovane self-steering system to manage the boat in light winds.16:02 The crew successfully completes the transit to Isla Isabela, confirming the mechanical repairs are sound.31:52
