This Sailboat Repair is Testing Us? (Prepping For Beached Boat Repair)

After breaking down while motoring south in the ICW, we discovered that the seals on our Sillette drive leg had failed, letting water into the oil. Now, we're tackling a full drive leg rebuild on our Prout Snowgoose 37 catamaran to get back to cruising life! In this episode, we clean and prep the parts, install new bearings and seals, and dry-fit everything before finalizing the build and priming and painting it. It's been a tough few weeks of DIY boat repair, but we're pushing through to keep our sailing adventure going.
