O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of a Prout Ltd. Snowgoose 37 Elite attempts to repair a malfunctioning watermaker while anchored near Airlie Beach, Australia. After replacing the membrane and seals, the system continues to produce water with high total dissolved solids (TDS).3:18 Further inspection reveals a cracked and delaminated fiberglass membrane housing, rendering the unit irreparable without a full replacement.9:01 The crew also installs a replacement Raymarine GPS unit, mounting it temporarily below deck to test signal reception through the fiberglass hull.12:28

Following these repairs, the pair sails to the Whitsunday Islands, navigating tight wind angles to reach Narra Inlet before hiking to the peak of Sawmill Bay.14:44 The vessel faces a series of concurrent mechanical failures, including a recurring diesel leak at the engine filter, a broken AIS unit, and the failed watermaker.16:31 Back at the boat, the crew performs deck maintenance, removing old trim and applying KiwiGrip non-skid coating to the roof to address flaking paint and improve water catchment.22:27
