Hva denne videoen dekker

Garrett hauls his boat out in Fiji to replace the cutlass bearing, paint the bottom, and inspect seacocks.1:47 Removing the propeller requires a prop puller and significant leverage using a backup tiller.3:55 After failing to remove the cutlass bearing with a handsaw and a reciprocating saw, he takes the stern tube to a local shop for removal.7:00 Reinstalling the stern tube proves difficult due to a stripped mounting bolt and alignment issues caused by improper gasket thickness and sealant application.10:35 He eventually achieves proper shaft alignment by dry-fitting the assembly without a gasket to confirm the fit before finalizing the seal with a thin paper gasket and washers to compensate for the damaged bolt threads.13:29 The project also includes scouting the Laotoka mangroves as a potential cyclone shelter using a drone and handheld depth sounder.5:21 Future planned maintenance includes installing a new windlass and lithium batteries.14:04
