What this video covers

The crew of the sailboat *Odin* performs a full maintenance overhaul on their electric marine toilet after a year of operation, discovering the discharge hose and anti-return valve completely obstructed by a thick buildup of salt and calcium deposits.7:42 The repair requires a complete disassembly of the pump and plumbing system, which the owner cleans manually without replacing any seals.9:15 During the process, the owner upgrades the plumbing to a rigid system with dedicated shut-off valves for better reliability and easier future maintenance.11:12 The boat is currently anchored in Kangas, Spain, where the crew uses a collapsible cart to transport supplies from shore.3:13 After failing to secure a berth in Moana due to vessel size restrictions, the crew relocates to Marina Punta Lagoa to take on water and provisions before preparing for an offshore passage to Santa Maria in the Azores.18:37 The owner notes that the narrow entrance to the marina is difficult to identify visually despite being marked on Navionics.25:34
