Land Rats on a Bartered Sailboat · vídeo

O que este vídeo aborda

The crew tests a newly installed freshwater plumbing system by pressurizing the lines and identifying three distinct leaks at various fittings.2:34 After tightening the connections and applying silicone, they confirm the system is dry under pressure.3:49 The team also verifies the operation of the electric bilge pump and its automatic float switch, noting the pump’s 380-gallon-per-hour capacity.8:02 To address restricted access to water tank fasteners, they cut an access hole in the surrounding paneling, allowing them to reach and tighten a leaking clamp.11:18 While the primary plumbing and bilge systems are functional, a persistent leak remains in one water tank, which the crew defers for future repair.12:17 Additionally, they epoxy and screw down loose floorboards to secure the cabin sole.12:55 Testing the system under full tank capacity confirms that the primary plumbing leaks are resolved, though the tank-specific leak requires further maintenance.10:37
