Broken Boat ? Fix it like THIS in an Exotic Location Ep 235

Join us in Rebak Marina, Malaysia, as we take on an extensive series of repairs and upgrades to bring our boat back to top condition. What began as a routine haul-out quickly turned into a major project when we discovered significant corrosion on the prop shaft. This unexpected setback required us to dismantle the C-drive and arrange for the shaft to be fully rebuilt. Alongside the mechanical work, we completed a wide range of maintenance tasks essential for long-term reliability and performance. This included sanding, cleaning, and applying fresh antifoul to the hull, as well as polishing and waxing both the topsides and the hull sides. We carried out fibreglass repairs, fitted a new windlass motor, galvanised the anchor and chain, replaced the guard rail, and tidied the safety netting.The bow thruster and main propellor were also both serviced as usual. To improve safety and electrical grounding, we installed a new bonding strap and rebonded the propeller shaft. We also upgraded our ageing flexible solar panels, stitched the coverings for the dinghy chaps and spray hood, and ensured every detail was ready for the season ahead. After several months of continuous work, we managed to complete the refit just in time for a relaunch before Christmas. This video offers a full look at the process, the challenges we faced, and the steps required to restore the boat for the adventures to come.
