Got caught in a rough patch while sailing up the coast — one of the old hatch systems jammed, had to open it manually mid-storm. So when I got back, I ripped out the whole thing and tried a sealed electric actuator setup. I was skeptical at first — saltwater usually kills stuff fast — but it's been solid through two seasons, including one absolute nightmare trip with constant spray and bouncing. No corrosion, no hiccups. Kinda impressed, not gonna lie.

You prep all you want, waterproof everything twice, and something still ends up soaked or rattled loose. But other times, you throw in a part thinking it’ll last a month, and it survives a whole season. Always a bit of a gamble at sea.
