Replaced PSS bellow, while in water!

PSS needs to have its bellow replaced every 6 years. The time was up for mine and with motor and batteries removed, I had clear access.

Almost every page of the PSS replacement kit said “do not do this with boat in the water” but plenty of YouTube videos showed that it actually could be done so I decided to use the opportunity.

That task is not for the faint of heart. Water was gushing in and took some time to property secure the new seal. All in all, the task was completed and I learned quite a bit.

Cleared out engine bay

In preparation for the new Victron batteries and other components, per plan, I took time to clear out the engine bay. Had to put in a piece of 2×4 to keep PSS bellows pressurized and avoid sinking the boat.
