O que este vídeo aborda

Garrett performs a series of refit projects on his boat while docked in Fiji, prioritizing the installation of a new windlass and an inverter.Watch He mounts the windlass using a custom-fabricated metal backing plate, which requires drilling new holes through the bowsprit and grinding the deck to accommodate the chain fall.15:10 To avoid drilling through existing switch holes, he uses a scrap wood block to mount the foot switch and seals unused deck penetrations with fiberglass and micro-bubbles.11:53 Additionally, he replaces a failed inverter, mounting the new unit beneath the radio panel and rerouting wiring to clean up the electrical system.7:47 During the process, he discovers engine alignment issues, which he attempts to correct by adjusting the coupling bolts and using a feeler gauge to address a misalignment between the stern tube and the prop shaft.12:24 He uses lanolin-based grease to protect his new tools from corrosion.5:24 The windlass installation is completed with through-bolted hardware to ensure structural integrity.16:18
