Terceiro episódio de uma série de vídeos que lançaremos mostrando um pouco de como foi nossa viagem, que originalmente tinha Abrolhos como destino final, feita com o veleiro Beleza Pura. O Beleza Pura é um veleiro de 34 pés, modelo Velamar, fabricado em 1989. A tripulação dessa viagem foi composta pelos comandantes Felipe Ferraz e Eduardo Soares, e os tripulantes Nicola Paolucci e Renato Boralli.

See part one here - https://youtu.be/nhBw3llpQ7M See part three here - https://youtu.be/sz7YTBvYizk Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them. In this second part of a 3 part series on removing, rebuilding/repairing a dorado box, polishing and prepping the bronze as well as all of the reinstallation, this entry will focus specifically on the preparation for the wooden dorado box and how to improve upon the frame that was there originally as well as refinish the box itself to look great again. If you haven't read the first of the blog series, please click on http://svdreamchaser.blogspot.com/2015/12/leaking-dorado-Part1.html to open up a new page with the blog post in it. After removing the dorado box and mounting slats from the deck, I took a good look at them and realized that he design of how these boxes were mounted was flawed. There was only one egress point for any rain/green water that may get in the cowl vent to exit the box, and that was aft of the opening to the bunk below. So even if the water that got in the box was not over the depth of the internal flute/chimney, it was still allowing water to potentially get down between the bronze tube and the deck. I wanted to improve upon the installation in a few different ways. The first was that I wanted the new frame to not just be a couple of small slats of spare/scrap wood but rather a deliberate design that would be stronger than the slats were as well as allow me to create additional value and function in the single mounting system. I started with a piece of 3/4" red oak wood that was cut to fit inside the base of the dorado box. This will be mounted to the deck of the boat and the dorado box will be screwed into the mounting frame horizontally at the bottom of the dorado box into the side of the hard wood frame. For me the solution was to improve upon this and build a V-shaped baffle on the mounting plate that would direct the majority of any green/rain water that gets in through the cowl vent to exit the sides of the dorado box before ever getting to the large 4" wide opening that vents air below. Then if for some reason some water does get past the baffle, then there is still the previous exit from the aft side of the dorado box. I drew out the pattern on the piece of red oak. It started with a 3/4" frame all the way around the permitter that would act as the anchor points for the dorado box onto the mounting bracket. It then required some measurement to ensure that the V-shaped baffle that I am pointing out was positioned correctly so as to allow enough room for the tube that extends down into the bunk below to pass through it. It also required that the baffles be as far after a possible to allow maximum water to pass out the sides of the Dorado and therefore reduce the chance of it leaking down into the deck though that opening into the bunk. The next step was to use a drill and circular saw to cut out all of the center areas of the frame to only leave the portion I wanted to remain. I wanted to keep this entire mounting base in 1 piece so to accommodate the places for the water to pass through, I chose to use a router bit to notch those locations without cutting all the way through the 3/4" red oak which allowed the piece to stay all together. I then lined up the new egress points from the base and marked the sides of the dorado box and dutifully cut those out as well using the same router bit. That was a bit nerve racking and I checked 4 and 5 times before making any cuts. I sanded all of the parts down with 150 grit sandpaper followed by 220 on an orbital palm sander. This allowed them to all get smooth, take any scratches and imperfection out of the dorado box and then setup to mix the epoxy. I use West Systems Epoxy and always use the pumps that mount to the top of each can to ensure you have an accurate dispensing of the material for the mixture. My harder pump was not working today so I eyeballed it, which I think is part of the reason why it took so long for this to harden and firmly setup. After 24 hours it was still a bit "gummy" where there were drips or runs and they had to be sanded down. After mixing the epoxy and stirring it for at least 60 seconds (I usually do 90 seconds to be safe) it was time to start painting the epoxy onto the wood. By covering wood with epoxy you essentially create a plastic encased piece of wood that is water proof and can extend the time it would take to get rot from moisture exposure.

Well we have the ITP Mud Lite AT 25x11-10 on the ATV, much bigger than expected, this is the biggest tire that will fit on the ToaToa 250D without putting a one inch spacer. Really glad we have dropped the gearing from a 15 tooth to a 13 tooth sprocket, with the factory sprocket I think the clutch would be the next thing to go because of the larger tires.

We have wired the radio and amp to the ATV correctly, turns off and on the the ignition. We redid the factory wiring to the battery, the dealer I bought this from had cut the battery rings that went to the battery, and there was very little metal holding it. We also put a fuse in between the battery and the radio, the frame on the ATV is not grounded, but I feel the protection will not hurt. The 6 inch sub does not produce enough bass for when the ATV is running, or if it is outside, it would be fine for bookshelf speakers in a small room, but does not work well in this application. We did just order the Pioneer TSW261D4 10inch subwoofer, it has been along time since I have used Pioneer, but when reading the specs it seems like a nice sub. The Chinese LED lights are really bright, much more light than what the 4-wheeler had before, will have more videos showing them.

Playing a little music through the ATV speaker system, the AR1500m amp looks like it is going to blow the Pyle 6.5-inch subwoofer. I think if I was going to use this sub again it would be used as a mid-bass, not for a main subwoofer. At low volumes with the correct box and port tuning, the little speak will rock, but for an application like an ATV box it is a no-go.

Not a bad little multi-meter, have used it on a little ATV light and radio project and it has keep me from burning the ATV wiring up. You can view the ATV projects in my channel to see all the things that were done using this little tool.

We have cleaned up the wiring in the fiberglass box me and my son built for his ATV. We don't want the wiring to bounce or rub during riding the ATV, and we want to keep the wiring off the amp in case it does get hot.
