What this video covers
The owners of an Outremer catamaran, Mistertong, prepare the vessel for a four-month haul-out by flushing the watermaker membranes with 30 liters of fresh water.2:33 Because the system cannot tolerate chlorinated tap water, the owner uses a bypass to draw non-chlorinated water from the boat's internal tanks.0:11 After confirming the tanks are sufficiently filled, the owner circulates a cleaning solution through the membranes in a closed loop for 15 minutes to prevent salt water stagnation during the storage period.2:42 Following the maintenance, the crew completes final preparations, including securing lines and fenders, before the boat is lifted by a professional yard crew.3:25 The catamaran is positioned in the yard for a four-month stay, with the owners noting the efficiency and care of the yard staff during the haul-out process.19:58 The crew also addresses a previous mechanical issue with the port-side engine transmission, which appears resolved after recent maintenance.25:29
