This video on Boat Maintenance applies to both Powerboats and Sailboats and pays for itself the first time you use it to fix the marine head that your girlfriend, boyfriend, parent, guest or child stuffs up. Even shows how to replace the worn out impeller or diaphragm water pump parts, plus much, much more on the periodic maintenance you should perform on the other various systems aboard you boat (plumbing, electrical, batteries, thru-hulls, etc.).

Remember... there are no plumbers to call when you're out at seq! And don't forget to check out the rest of our fine series of educational nautical DVDs.
