UV water-purifier (Patreon)

Hi guys, 

Happy Saturday! :D In this week's video, I install a fancy UV water purifier and complete one of Ava's long-time requests - the setee back hatches. We haven't had any issues with the water quality aboard, and as long as we're drinking water from the watermaker, I don't expect us to. When we're in a marina or as right now, in a yard, I do like the idea of running the water through a filter and some UV. The water purifier doohickey was on sale for around $300. Is it worth it?

In real-time news. I'm buttoning up the last few projects before flying to Michigan to spend Christmas with Ava and her family. That means doing a bunch more varnishing while it's still just me here on the boat, finishing the nav station, fixing some damage to the primer on the saildrive, and antifouling the saildrive. I wasn't planning on re-doing the antifouling on the prop yet, but I noticed a bit of exposed aluminum (it's a cheap fixed-blade aluminum prop). None of the chandlerys here had any more small PropSpeed kits, but one of them had a PropOne kit. We got a little over a year out of our SeaJet PellerClean - I'm sure the PropOne is good stuff too. To be honest, all these silicone-based prop antifouling products seem to be the exact same product but just have different names. Have any of you had a different experience?

I hope you're having a fantastic weekend! Thank you so much for your support :)
