Emergency Haul Out: Fixing Our Boat’s Shaft Seal & Coupling to Stop Us Sinking - Ep. 268

In this week´s video, we are at the Zimmermans Boatyard in NC for an emergency haul-out! Our mission? To replace Zephyr´s coupling and shaft seal as quickly as possible to stop our saltwater leak that held us back on our journey south. We are joined by the lead marine mechanic who walks us through the whole process, including the tricky alignment required for a perfect fix. Will we make it back in the water in time for a successful test? Watch now to see if we can get our boat back on track for the adventure ahead- it´s a race against the clock!
