    Hi guys,
    Just a quick reference to your cracking roof. I had the same on my boat and it turned out to be filler hiding a dent. If this is your issue you can repair it with filler because steel and filler don't expand and contract at the same rate. I'll wait and see what you find before I elaborate on how to fix it.
    Love what you do and always look forward to your next vlog,
    Robbie

    The problem with fitting some of those butler sinks on boats is that unless you build a high stand they're too deep. I've seen people fit them in the usual gunwale height sink position and they couldn't get the sink to gravity drain without putting the hull skin fitting too close to the waterline. Ideally you don't want to have to drain a galley sink with a pump. Always choose boat fixtures and fittings with the boat in mind.

    • @TheNomadicCrobot
      @TheNomadicCrobot  2 роки тому +1

  • @thepeanutgallery1699

    Also suggest using some silicone caulk/sealant around all those holes you drilled. Even if they don't overtly leak, water getting at the drill-holes = rust

The phillips is a sharper angle, so when you twist it on a tight screw, you wear them out or break the screw. PZ1 or PZ2 of pozi, ph1 or 2 for american phillips. You will find it easier to tighten.
