O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of the vessel Catalpa performs maintenance on the boat’s chain plates and bow rollers while hauled out in a boatyard. To address water intrusion, the crew removes old sealant from approximately 12 chain plates and reseals them using 3M 4200, opting against 5200 to ensure future accessibility for rigging work.0:26 Simultaneously, the owner modifies the bow roller assembly because the existing rollers are too close together, causing the chain to pull at an angle and slip off the track.3:52 The project involves cutting the stainless steel assembly, spreading the rollers apart to align with the gypsy, and welding a new reinforcing bar over the top to prevent the chain from jumping out.7:11 The owner cleans and polishes the stainless steel components before welding.8:02 Separately, the crew begins sanding and repainting the anchor locker to remove mold and old paint before reinstalling the recently re-galvanized anchor chain.16:56
