What this video covers

The owners of the 10-year-rebuilt fishing trawler Brewpeg haul the vessel out of the water at Bundaberg Port Marina to install a new generator and inspect the hull.1:38 Because the boat’s deck height exceeds the reach of standard dockside equipment, the crew uses a travel lift to position the vessel for a forklift-assisted transfer.5:29 The team encounters a challenge when standard forklift tines prove too short to safely stabilize the generator pallet, requiring the use of extended tines to prevent the load from tipping.16:23 While the boat is on the hardstand, the crew cleans six months of barnacle growth from the hull, prop, and transducer, and assesses the condition of the antifouling paint and anodes.15:52 The project, funded by community donations, aims to resolve ongoing electrical system issues.18:20 The haul-out concludes with the generator successfully placed on the rear deck and the hull prepared for fresh antifouling application.18:13
