O que este vídeo aborda
Jon, owner of the 45-ft Liberty 458 *Antidote*, attempts to dry out a water-saturated transom using a vacuum pump and a 250-watt heat lamp.0:51 The vacuum pump maintains a constant 29.8 inches of vacuum, while the heat lamp elevates the substrate temperature to encourage moisture evaporation.0:51 He monitors moisture levels using a Skipper 5 moisture meter, specifically targeting a port corner reading above 20%.2:56 Separately, Jon replaces stanchion bases on the *Antidote* by 3D printing G10 prototypes and hogging out the bulwark to ensure proper thread engagement.9:02 The project also covers maintenance on a 30-ft Newport in Bellingham, where Jon performs a bottom scuff-sand using a Mirka dustless sander and reseals a through-hull transducer using TotalBoat sealant.14:46 He notes that the Mirka sander offers superior weight distribution and dust control compared to his standard Bosch unit.17:16
