On this episode of Onboard Lifestyle we tackle the last two hatches of eleven...a very complicated install with custom coaming. Come back next week when we i...

oh now they've got this short light in

it's time to get to this hatch and this

hatch those aren't the only hatches

we've got you know a couple to put in

for summer breaks so I gotta get busy we

actually have a couple more besides it's

still more coming in we've been

collecting them but if we nice to get

all the new hatches in before winter at

least that's the goal so my first one is

this one right here we excavating this

out of the deck today and this is a 24

or 20 by 20 I'm putting a 24 by 24 in so

I'll really have to build up the deck

here because if you look down there

isn't quite a bit of curvature to this

deck here I will have to put some

combing around this so let's get going

200 shares thanks

these captions are probably

22 years old 23 years old never leaked

time to replace

calm down

I get this right off

and this is why we replacement take a

look at

some crazy crazy going out there here's

the new pots and I am laying it out

right now for the cutout so that's what

I'm doing it's gonna be quite a bit

bigger should be nice get a lot of

airflow into this cabin

[Music]

okay so I'm putting the coaming around

the hatch now

what I do is I I take the ball tank Matt

and I soak it I just layer it up to the

thickness Oh on

he's a

a West system of prophecy

to saturate the Baltic map first

[Music]

[Music]

I'll clean it up

once this fires off

I'll use a colloidal silica filler to

sweep it into the deck

I may have to build another layer this

is just my first coat here I did three

layers of Baltic matte to build it up

and I've probably got it up a good

quarter-inch maybe five sixteenths of an

inch so far

so once this fires off I will sand it

smooth

and use a faring compound

filled it up the rest away

I wanted to put this down first though

because around the perimeter of the

hatch I didn't wanted to build it up

with thickened epoxy because I'm gonna

actually have screws going into this

this gives me much better screwing

capabilities than just thickened epoxy

and thickened epoxy tends to be a little

brittle so I always layer this as much

as I can before I do the last little bit

with thickened epoxy okay I've added

four layers of this Baltic matte on this

side a couple layers on this side two

layers and I've feathered it down so now

my dream

it's on here perfectly level so next I

will use thickened epoxy and just put a

bead around here and put tape on the

frame and then set the frame in the

thickened epoxy and then I'll fill in

all these little gaps after that call

sand and fair paint

that my hatch combing is done taking uh

epoxy thickened it with colloidal silica

now I'm gonna put a

beat around the entire front over here

I have finished the combing around the

hatch I glassed it bared it sanded it

now I just scuffs the end of this entire

deck right here with 220 and I am wiping

it down with three three three which is

a brushing liquid

it works too full it works so nice as a

tack cloth get all the dust off and it

starts softening the pain a little so

the new paint gets stick to it

next is pain

looking for it winter's coming here in

Seattle but look at today it's gorgeous

no wind 73 degrees and this is September

mid-september crazy

[Music]

okay now that the paint is dry and the

hatch is in let's take a look at how

this combing turned out and it turned

out pretty good

happy with that

okay let's take a look at this hatch

from the inside how it turned out

am how you doing what do you think your

new hatch and you couldn't even see

through the glass it was like I know

look at this don't you love it yeah yeah

it turned out pretty good this is how

the fairing turned out on the inside

radiuses not too bad not perfect but

good enough for us huh yeah okay um I

got the hatch in in the nick of time

rain hit and boy did it come down we hit

torrential rains for about three days

straight looks like I'm gonna get a

break I've got ten of the eleven hatches

in I've got one of the twelve port

lights in so I'm gonna do what I can in

between rain to get these things in my

next one I've just set up dried the

decks is right here believe it or not

it's a about a six day proj project to

get this in this is a 20 by 20 hatch I'm

putting in a 24 by 24 patch so what I

end up doing is cutting it out and you

see there's a radius to the deck here so

I have to build up combing like I did

the other side and then after I build it

up prime samp ain't fair everything to

make it look pretty then I can put the

hatch in so I'm I have a window here of

a couple days so I'm gonna jump on this

one and start the port lights I'm taking

all the fasteners out

now next step is

just manhandle these hatches out there's

no other way to do it they usually come

out in pieces we'll see if I get this

one a monkey's

my depends of these two and for a

sealant put this sample this one looks

more like the ceiling which is nice

[Music]

I'm saying to clean all this off

I don't have to get a call I was gonna

be cutting a lot of this out it's need

to take most of it off so I get to saw

in your flat

you know it used to be intimidating

counting holes in the boat

but now I've done so much now you just

plunge in to do it it's not a big deal

just like that the next step is take

this ball take Matt and I use this to

build up the combing around the hash

like this right here I've already done

it so

I'm piecing it in around here where I

need to build up then it's just a matter

of

just marking down

so I'll cut this out and layer it up

about four layers thick on this side

saturated with epoxy and I'm good to go

okay saturated with epoxy

and laid down a few layers of the Baltic

mass I'm gonna let this fire off and

sand it out and set the frame in and see

how much more build up I mean but we

should be real close friend

so what we did is what put the thickened

epoxy on here like you go on the other

side you're on top of the Kobe I had to

put tape on the backside of that flange

here okay and then I wiped a releasing

agent on it so this would come off nice

and clean baby please

I used it's a thin layer of cooking oil

thing in theory this should just pop

right off do I get them

well once I started crying I want to see

make sure it comes out without bending

the flange that's the trick okay here

start working it that way yeah

like a cast no okay

so just kind of pull up evenly as a

doodoo scrap ready just nice and even if

it starts too bad we'll stop

when you sand this down it's gonna kill

all the tape off and there'll be a lot

of little imperfections in here that

I'll fill in with epoxy first but it

gives me the level at ease

I like that how everything is now raised

so that water can't just cut up foreign

stuff

it is like over our bed

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Oh September 26 this is unreal weather

for sample it's gonna be in the mid 70s

today and close to 80 tomorrow so that

means I am extending my summer just a

little bit longer and get some more deck

work done now that I've finished

building the coaming I have scuffed this

entire area this deck here with 220 and

now I'm gonna wipe it all down with

interlocks 333 and then I'll get some

paint down just enjoying the weather

and getting as much deck work as I can

before winter hits once winter hits I'm

heading inside so this is the last of 11

hatches I've put in this summer I am so

excited rolled out the interlocks bright

side polyurethane go nice coat on there

I actually have two coats around the

coaming I started around the coaming put

one coat on let it skim over and then

did another heavy coat over the whole

thing we'll let this cure up today and

hopefully it is cured enough before the

dew hits if it the dude hits before it

starts to harden it

Dolan's the paint and we've done that a

couple of times

so hopefully we have enough time we've

got a couple hours before the deal hit

right about five hours so we'll see how

it goes

okay huge milestone this is officially

done

our 11th patch has been officially

installed and we are done with all the

hatches on this boat felt like Groundhog

Day because every single time teal said

he was done with a hat she moved on to

the next one and I just felt like it was

just the same thing every single week so

I'm very excited it looks good

hopefully it doesn't leak yeah well I'm

just kidding yeah so we have a couple

more projects to do before winter

officially hits I'm hoping to get some

of the port lights in so we'll get them

all in let's do it see ya
