What this video covers

The 10-year rebuild of the fishing trawler Brupeg concludes with sea trials to test mechanical and electrical systems. Before departure, the crew installs a roof-mounted air conditioning unit using stainless steel angle mounts welded to the wheelhouse roof and secures loose helm seating.0:51 During the initial sea trial, the generator fails due to a blown fuel return line caused by inadequate hose clamps on pressed-steel fittings.25:31 The owner identifies the root cause as a pressurized fuel system error and plans to replace the fittings with hydraulic push-lock connectors and a proper return line plumbed into a T-fitting before the fuel pump.27:04 Additionally, the crew calibrates the engine’s oil and coolant temperature sensors, which were reading 10 degrees Celsius too high, by comparing gauge data against a handheld thermometer.34:20 The team also performs network diagnostics on the boat's radar and instrumentation systems to isolate data streams.28:25 The vessel remains operational for short coastal runs despite ongoing challenges with onboard power management and pet accommodation.
