The crew of Catalpa performs final maintenance tasks on their vessel before relaunching after a haul-out. They apply Fowl Free anti-fouling coating to a DST 810 smart transducer, scuffing the surface with a provided green pad and following a multi-step process of cleaning, conditioning, and coating while masking the paddle wheel and pin to prevent calibration errors.0:46 The crew also replaces eight deteriorated plastic deck and cockpit drains, noting that the old fittings had become brittle and prone to explosive failure.8:02 Additionally, they service a Max-Prop propeller by applying Prop Speed and injecting calcium-based grease through the hub’s grub screw ports, a process they note can be performed underwater if necessary.9:31 The owner inspects the fuel tank after removing floor panels and plans future interior storage improvements.5:51 The bottom paint application concludes with a final coat, emphasizing the importance of frequent mixing to keep anti-fouling agents suspended in the paint.13:53
