What this video covers
Returning to their boat, *Good, Bad, and Ugly*, after a six-week absence, the crew faces several maintenance issues, including a moldy refrigerator, a malfunctioning marine head, and a missing storm sail.0:57 The toilet’s macerator motor requires replacement due to corrosion and binding, while the folding propeller is heavily fouled with marine growth.2:31 While the boat was unattended in a Puerto Rican anchorage, another vessel drifted close, though it caused no significant damage.4:22 The crew cleans the propeller using a manual can opener and retrieves a secondary storm anchor from the seabed.8:07 During these repairs, the owner suffers skin irritation from contact with marine life while working underwater.9:25 After completing these tasks, the crew takes the boat on a day trip, navigating through a heat wave and managing wind interference while grilling on a Magma grill.23:23 They note that using a dodger or bimini enclosure helps shield the grill from wind, allowing food to cook more efficiently.25:10
