What this video covers

Alex and Daniela return to their boat in a Greece boatyard to resume restoration work, prioritizing the installation of a diesel heater to address cold temperatures.1:29 The existing heater’s exhaust system, including the through-hull fitting and internal metal piping, shows significant corrosion.2:29 Alex plans to cut a square access hole in the fiberglass-covered exhaust tube to replace the through-hull fitting without removing the entire pipe assembly.2:48 He opts for a 150€ automotive-style diesel heater rather than a 1,500€ marine-specific unit, though he purchases a high-quality, corrosion-resistant exhaust pipe to handle saltwater exposure.3:51 The installation stalls briefly over the weekend due to a missing part, but the unit eventually purges the fuel line and begins operating.5:40 The heater successfully cycles and produces heat, allowing the crew to work comfortably inside the cabin.7:12
