O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of the 45-ft catamaran Curiosity performs maintenance on the vessel’s steering system and engine while hauled out in Tonga. To resolve a persistent moaning noise in the steering, the crew removes and cleans the Edson steering sheaves and cables, which had accumulated significant grime and dirt.1:12 Following manufacturer guidance, they clean and lubricate the mechanical components monthly to prevent recurring noise and corrosion.6:50 The crew also repairs a leaking aluminum fuel tank by sanding the bottom, filling holes with steel stick, and applying a fiberglass patch as a temporary measure until they can reach Australia or New Zealand for a permanent replacement.12:25 Additional maintenance tasks include changing engine oil and filters, and installing a new hot water heater.19:07 The steering system operates smoothly and silently after the cleaning and lubrication process.10:33
