O que este vídeo aborda

Steve repairs the transom of the tender, Victoria, while anchored near Boca Grande, Florida.0:19 The transom had separated from the hull, and the mahogany knees required removal to address structural weakness.4:40 Steve uses a pull saw and hacksaw blade to cut through hidden ring-shank nails securing the knees.2:06 After removing the knees, he reinforces the transom-to-hull joint using Thixo thickened epoxy and fiberglass cloth.8:13 He adds a mahogany pad to the exterior to better distribute the clamping load from the outboard motor.8:47 Because the repair area will be painted, he uses the white-tinted Thixo rather than clear epoxy.9:29 Once the structural work is complete, the knees are reinstalled to restore rigidity.8:13 The crew also scrubs marine growth from the hull before departing the anchorage.10:45 Navigating out of the shallow area, the crew relies on previous depth tracks to avoid grounding in the sandy bottom.19:43
