5 years ago we replaced our saildrive diaphragm seal. Full video ? https://youtu.be/o_Bv7_tAOY4 We used CT1 sealant to secure the gaiter / boot between the saildrive and the hull.

Varnishing can be a labour of love: On our last boat I applied 11 coats of varnish to the tiller and the results were fantastic... However, it took lots of time which I no longer have. If you're short on time, you can achieve decent results using the technique in this video. Will it get you on the cover of Classic Boat Magazine? Absolutely not! Will I make your boat look a lot better with minimal work? Yes! Subscribe for more handy sailboat DIY tips! Chris ??
