What this video covers
The owners of a Hunter 42, Jibsea, perform maintenance while hauled out in a boatyard in Grenada. To raise the waterline, the crew tapes a new bootstripe line, opting to curve the tape upward in the aft section to accommodate the vessel's heavier trim.8:15 They apply a two-part gray paint to the stripe, noting a slight color mismatch with the existing finish.8:41 Additionally, the owner repairs a small crack near the exhaust outlet using epoxy resin, hardener, and fiberglass roving.3:11 To address engine corrosion, the owner removes the alternator and starter to degrease and repaint the Yanmar diesel engine block, using the engine room blower to vent paint fumes.15:46 The crew plans to apply three gallons of bottom paint—one gallon of dark blue and two gallons of black—in a single evening session to meet a 12-hour launch window.13:45 Unexpected rain complicates the final application schedule, delaying the planned launch.21:34
