What this video covers
The crew of the Sunreef 62 *Supernova* completes a month-long haul-out in a boatyard, finishing critical maintenance tasks including rudder bearing replacement, cutlass bearing installation, and dripless shaft seal fitting. During the final assembly, the team discovers a misalignment between the prop shaft and the transmission, requiring adjustment of the engine mounts to ensure the flanges mate perfectly.13:57 The crew also applies International Trilux propeller paint and installs custom hull logos. A late-night attempt to finish painting the rudders results in a confrontation with boatyard security, who threatens to call the port police due to after-hours work.23:54 Despite the friction with yard management and logistical frustrations regarding waste disposal, the crew successfully prepares the vessel for relaunch. Proper alignment of the prop shaft and transmission is confirmed when the four mounting bolts slide into the flanges without resistance and the faces sit flush.16:19
