Crew member polishes hull on scaffolding under bright sun
O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of a Beneteau Oceanis 50 performs extensive hull and mechanical maintenance while the vessel is in a shipyard. Work includes sanding the hull, polishing the topsides, and applying new primer and antifouling paint.2:17 The owners inspect the hull for osmosis, noting that a previous treatment in 2013 remains effective, though they repair minor blisters with epoxy.2:50 Maintenance tasks extend to the bow thruster, where the crew removes the propellers to clean the tunnel and inspect the drive pins for corrosion.4:06 Additionally, the crew rebuilds the high-pressure pump for their ZP watermaker using a service kit, replacing seals and O-rings before installing a new stainless steel motor.9:52 The team also replaces existing through-hull valves with True Design fittings.15:44 Regarding the anchor chain, the crew decides to purchase 100 meters of new galvanized chain rather than re-galvanizing the existing, heavily rusted links, as the cost difference is negligible and avoids the structural weakness of a joining link.18:28
