Join us as we delve deeper into this captivating YouTube video and explore the narrator’s journey in fixing and upgrading their boat.

– Introduction: Day 4 and the Need for Upgrades and Fixes

Today is day 4 and my dad is here to help, so it’s the end of the day. I’ve already showered and have been away from the boat for a few months. I have a long list of things to fix and upgrades to install before I can begin sailing again. Back in May, my dad and I started installing the hydran after determining the location of the main bracket. However, I soon realized that I wouldn’t be able to finish it due to my current davit in the way. In October, my dad asked if he could come down and help, and after some initial reluctance, I said yes.

On day 5, I’m going to continue working on the keel. We’re expecting rain in the next 3 days, so we’re trying to get as much done outside as possible. My dad is going to take out my propane-like bucket so that we can put the bolts for the support of the hydran. This means we have to disconnect and remove various components step by step. Despite the challenges, we’re determined to keep moving forward and push the doors open to the future.

One of the tasks I’m working on while waiting for the multi-tool battery to charge is resealing the keel. I have a bolted-in keel, and although I’m not sure if the bolts are original, I noticed moisture coming out of the keel when I last hauled out. There was also rust and damage that I tried to address last year, but now I’m taking off all the caulking around the keel and resealing it properly. Additionally, I plan to tighten the bolts, but I’m facing some challenges finding the right tools at the yard. Nevertheless, we’re progressing and are now moving on to the actual installation of the hydran. We’ve measured and prepared the metal backing plates and brackets, drilled the necessary holes, and are now ready to mount it step by step. To make cleanup easier, we’ve learned that putting soap and water on our hands before smoothing out the caulking helps. Despite the complexity of the tasks, we have made significant progress, with my dad dedicatedly focusing on the hydran and me working on the keel.

– The Challenge of Installing the Hydra vean

Today is day 4 and my dad is here to help, so it’s the end of the day and I’ve already showered. I’ve been away from the boat for a few months and have a long list of things to fix and upgrades to install before I can begin sailing again.

Back in May, my dad and I started my hydra vean install after determining where I’d want the main bracket. However, I realized that I would not be able to finish it due to my current davit being in the way and not being able to cut the supporting stainless steel. In October, my dad asked if he could come down and help, and after I was done being stubborn, I said yes.

Morning, it’s Day 5, and I’m going to continue working on the keel. It’s supposed to rain for the next 3 days, so we’re trying to do a lot outside. My dad is going to take my propane-like bucket out of its thing so we can put the bolts in for the support of the hydra vean. This is going to have to come out, and everything needs to be disconnected step by step.

We keep moving on, taking steps to keep moving forward. We have to push and blow the doors open the future. I definitely should have ordered more batteries. I got 3/4 of the way done with the "K," I’m kidding, 2/3, no, 1/3. While I’m waiting for the multi-tool battery to charge, I figured I would explain why I’m doing that to the keel.

– Addressing Keel Issues and Taking Precautions

Today is day 4 and my dad is here to help so it’s the end of the day I’ve already showered I’ve been away from the boat for a few months and have a long list of things to fix and upgrades to install before I can begin sailing again. Back in May, my dad and I started my hydran install after determining where I’d want the main bracket. I realized I would not be able to finish it due to my current davit in the way and not being able to cut the supporting stainless steel PS. In October, my dad asked if he could come down and help. After I was done being stubborn, I said yes.

Morning, it’s Day 5, and I’m going to continue working on the Keel. Supposed to rain the next 3 days, so we’re trying to do a lot outside. My dad is going to take my propane like bucket out of its thing so we can put the bolts in for the support for the Hydran. So this is going to have to come out and that’s going to have to all get disconnected. Left, right, left, and step by step, we’ll move on.

We keep Maring on. We’re going to keep on. We keep Maring on. Take steps to keep moving forward, got to push and blow the doors open the future. I definitely should have ordered more batteries. I got 3/4 of the way done with the K, I’m kidding, 2/3. No, 1/3, not 34. While I’m waiting on that multi-tool battery to charge, I figured I would explain why I’m doing that to the KE.

So I have a bolted-in keel, and I don’t know, I’m pretty sure the bolts are original, but I’m not sure. When I hauled out, there was some moisture coming out of the keel where the keel meets the hole. Last year, when I was working on the bottom, I saw a lot of rust and such, and I tried to sand it down as deep as I could and patch it up. But this year, I am taking off all of the caulking around the keel and going to reveal that. Basically, I’m also going to tighten my bolts, and the yard doesn’t have the right driver for my sockets. So we’re trying to find sockets that they have that match their drivers, and it’s a process.

We are moving on to the actual Hydran install now. We got the huge soane thing out, so now we’re measuring. We have these metal plates backing plates that go on the inside side, and then this bracket will go on the outside. So it’s just a lot of holes, a lot of 5200. So the holes are drilled on here. Now we’re going to mount it in this cubby, and we’re going to 5200 both sides, now and mount it step by step.

After using any caulking, put soap and water on your hands before smoothing it out to make clean up a bit easier. We’ve made pretty significant progress this morning. My dad’s been working on the Hydran most of the morning, and I’ve been doing that in the KE. There are a lot of measurements, fitting different angles with that go, shorten some of the bolts for the next brace.

After using any cocking, put soap and water on your hands before smoothing it out to make clean up a bit easier. In conclusion, day 4 of our journey marks a significant milestone as we welcome a new permanent crew member to the team. With my dad’s expertise and assistance, we have made great progress on our boat upgrades and repairs.

One of the main tasks at hand was the installation of the Hydra vean. After encountering some initial setbacks, we were finally able to tackle this project with the help of my dad. Step by step, we carefully measured, drilled holes, and applied 5200 adhesive, ensuring a secure and sturdy installation.

Simultaneously, I took on the task of addressing the keel. Upon inspection, I noticed some signs of moisture and rust, prompting me to remove the old caulking and reseal the area. With the right tools and the expertise of the boatyard, we worked diligently to tighten the bolts and ensure the keel’s stability.

Throughout the process, we encountered minor challenges and setbacks, such as finding the right sockets and drivers. However, with perseverance and determination, we overcame these obstacles and continued to make significant progress.

As the day drew to a close, we reflected on the accomplishments of the day and felt a renewed sense of excitement for the future. The hard work and dedication put into these repairs and upgrades will undoubtedly contribute to a safer and more enjoyable sailing experience.

Moving forward, we are eager to continue pushing forward, ready to face any challenges that may come our way. With each step taken, we bring ourselves closer to unlocking the doors of the future, embracing new adventures on the open sea.

In conclusion, day 4 was a productive and fulfilling day, with my dad’s presence and expertise making a significant impact on our progress. We look forward to the days ahead as we continue to make necessary repairs and upgrades, ultimately setting sail once again. Stay tuned for more updates on our journey and the exciting developments to come.
