Whitlock Steering System Overhaul - Fixing the Play we had in the Steering [2.37]

In this video, we address the play in our sailboat's Whitlock steering system by taking it apart, replacing the bearings, and reassembling it. We also remove the old dodger to prepare for taking our DIY doghouse to the boat, uncover the boat after winter, and fix some leakages to prepare for the upcoming season.

In late August 2020, we set sail from Sweden on our first big adventure - a year-long journey to the Caribbean and back. Fast forward to October 2023, we took the plunge again and bought a Wasa 530, a sailboat that had been sitting idle for over 15 years. She's in need of some serious TLC, and we're on a mission to transform her into the ultimate blue water cruiser! On our channel, you'll follow every step of this exciting journey - from boat renovations to ocean-ready upgrades, and everything in between. We post new videos bi-weekly on Saturdays, so subscribe and join us as we bring this beauty back to life! ??More about our boat, Anne-Mon II: http://sailingannemon.com/about/the-boat-anne-mon-ii/ ?
