Patrick Childress, takes apart the Jabsco marine toilet and shows how to clean the deposits off, and lubricate the seals. He talks about how to restore a water tank on a sailboat instead of water tank replacement with epoxy and paint. He goes in to detail about the anchor chain locker and how to run the anchor chain further aft and lower. He also covers the replacement of the headliner. Rebecca debuts and gives a quick tour of the nav station and marine electronics aboard offshore cruising yacht, “Brick House”.
