S2, Ep15 Removing and Replacing All Old Through Hulls in Just a Weekend
Boat projects continue as we tackle a busy weekend of maintenance aboard Into the Mystic! In this episode of Sailing into the Mystic, Tim and Jess work together to install new thru-hull fittings, clean the propeller, and begin replacing the shaft seal. With every completed task, we get one step closer to setting sail full-time. Along the way, we also take time to paint the bilges and celebrate the small victories that make boat life so rewarding.
For fellow sailors and DIY boat owners, this video has hands-on tips for essential boat maintenance, from thru-hull removal to keeping your prop in top shape. Whether you're gearing up for your own boat projects, planning a haul-out, or just love following sailing adventures, please join us!
