What this video covers
Jeremiah and Brittany, crew of The Lazy Geckos, attempt to repair a malfunctioning Spectra watermaker after a plastic fitting on the unit snaps.▶ 0:20 The crew previously spent $2,000 on professional repairs for the system, but the unit continued to fail.▶ 4:34 To restore water production, Jeremiah removes the watermaker from its bulkhead mount and relocates it to the deck, where it operates by discharging brine directly over the side of the boat.▶ 5:56 This temporary configuration allows the crew to replenish their nearly empty water tanks while avoiding a return to a marina or the United States.▶ 4:12 The crew also notes that a previously installed SeaWater Pro unit remains non-functional due to degraded membranes from prolonged disuse.▶ 7:01 The repair allows the boat to continue cruising toward a blue hole and a private anchorage.▶ 7:54
