Replacing our thru-hulls and seacocks using custom tools! Episode 45. #catamaranrefit

When you aren't confident that the existing thru-hulls are secure and the valves won't turn, it's time to look for a new option. We chose to replace every single thru-hull so that we could be confident in their installation. This also allowed us to choose exactly what we wanted. Time for an upgrade. We chose Marelon composite thru-hulls and hopefully, we'll never have to replace them again.

A couple travelers out chasing the horizon, meeting the people, and capturing it to share with you. We've chosen to Roam the world by boat because, let's face it, the most interesting path is rarely a straight line. As we learn to let go of our American drive to finish, and embrace the meandering routes across islands, oceans, continents, and people, we hope to gain a better sense of our world and our place in it. The path won't always be comfortable or easy to find but, it will always #roam Here's an index of the video in case you want to see something specific: 00:00 Intro to project 01:07 Intro to Us 01:26 Remove existing skin fittings and seacocks 4:16 Measure hole diameter and height 07:01 Cut larger holes 10:20 Install backing plates 19:17 Install new skin fittings and seacocks 25:54 Wrap up - Like, subscribe, bye! 26:30 End Card ----------------------------------------------------------- #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #nautitech #yachtlife #sailingroam #liveaboardlife #cruisinglife #explore #exploretheworld #refit #catamaranrefit © Sailing Roam 2025
