What this video covers

The owner of the sailboat Limonada 2 repairs a hurricane-damaged roof and solar panel mounting system while in Grenada.0:11 After Hurricane Beryl caused structural damage, including a broken keel and hull punctures, the owner replaces three damaged PVC roof plates with new 4x8 sheets sourced from a local marine supply store.1:13 To prevent galvanic corrosion between stainless steel U-bolts and aluminum solar panel frames, the owner installs plastic washers as insulators.2:31 Because the available U-bolts were too long, the owner grinds them to size, using a secondary nut to protect the threads during the cutting process.2:24 The solar panels are repositioned to accommodate the wind vane and secured with a combination of U-bolts, plastic spacers, and lock washers.7:17 The owner uses 3M 4000 UV sealant to secure the new roof plates, noting that high-quality sealant prevents the labor-intensive removal required by cheaper alternatives.15:51 The project concludes with the roof plates cut to fit around the winch and sealed to the arch.14:46
