Javi completes a handover refit on Regina at Rota, Cádiz, fixing three systems that failed during the final Atlantic crossing.0:04 The watermaker's new ceramic-base body arrived defective from the manufacturer — the fit tolerance was too large to correct by heating the body to 60°C as the technical service suggested, so Javi machined the ceramic bases by hand with a milling cutter until they seated correctly, then fitted a new pump; the unit runs cleanly afterward.1:42 The Raymarine autopilot received a factory-recommended gear upgrade, replacing the plastic drive gears in the tiller arm with metal ones to prevent the wear that caused the failure at sea.5:01 The diesel heating circuit's fuel pump, which had been jamming repeatedly and required a manual workaround each restart, was swapped out for a new unit.5:19 Engine oil and filters were also changed.4:46 All three repairs were completed before handing Regina to her new owner.6:44 When a manufacturer's recommended fix proves inadequate, machining the part to correct tolerance directly is a viable alternative.
