This Hole Can Sink Our Boat!!

Season 7 Episode 4

Every boat owner's worst nightmare is their boat sinking. Seacocks and through-hulls can corrode without your knowledge and risk breaking when out at sea. In today's video, we inspect our seacocks and through-hulls only to find that the through-hulls have fully corroded. We used a custom tool that we had made in order to remove all 7 of our through-hulls without damaging our hull. We then measured them with a digital calliper, cleaned and lubricated them with Marine Lubricant XCP. New Groco through hulls have been ordered and we hope to get this sailboat launched soon.

Our Story
Hi there, we're Sam & Rene - since 2017 we've quit the rat race in order to explore a more simple life. We built a small campervan with a goal to drive it from Malaysia to the UK - the pandemic has changed our plans and we're now based in Pangkor Marina on a sailboat learning about Sailboats and Sailing.
