החובט על השלח. מכה בעור אחר רחיצתו כדי לנערו מן המים:
השלח. העור כמות שהוא כשמפשיטים אותו מן הבהמה [בראשית ל״ז] נקרא שלח. תרגום ויפשיטו, ואשלחו:
שהוא מתכוין שיצאו עם הצואה. מתכוין שיצאו המים עם הלכלוך שנתחבר בהן, לפיכך מכשיר מה שנתז ממנו ואפילו שהוא בתוך המים. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוסי:

מכשירין פרק ה׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
העקל (on the ballast) – place on the rims of the ship where water collects there that comes in through the cracks/fissures of the ship.
אם ניער (if he shook it) – to remove the water that is upon him, like, a person who shakes out his garment.
לצרפה (to tighten it) – to check if the water enters into it or not. Another explanation: to strengthen it and to glaze/harden it/muzzle it, because when it is on the dry land, it split open on its own. And they bring it into the water in order that the water would steep in the water and would close up its fissures and cracks.
מסמר לגשמים לצרפו – to strengthen and to harden it/glaze it, when the waters would come upon it afer it had been heated in fire.
אוד (fire-brand/wooden poker) – wood hat part of it was consumed by fire.
העקל. מקום בשולי הספינה שמתקבצים שם המים הנכנסים בסדקים של ספינה:
אם ניער. להסיר המים שעליהן. כמו המנער טליתו:
לצרפה. לבדקה אם המים נכנסים לתוכה אם לאו. פירוש אחר, לחזקה ולחסמה. לפי שכשהיא ביבשה, נבקעת מאליה, ומכניסים אותה בים כדי שתשרה במים ויסתמו בקועיה וסדקיה:
מסמר לגשמים לצרפו. לחזקו ולחסמו, כשיבואו עליו מים לאחר שנתלבן באש:
אוד. עץ שמקצתו אכלה האש:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.
