Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the 10-year-rebuilt fishing trawler *Brupeg* performs routine maintenance on the main engine, gearbox, and generator while anchored at Thursday Island.0:46 The main engine requires a full oil change, which the crew completes using a manual vacuum pump inserted through the dipstick tube due to the lack of a dedicated sump drain fitting.4:43 They use Castrol R8 15W40 CI4 oil for the main engine, noting that the vessel’s keel was previously modified to serve as a 600-to-700-liter waste oil storage tank.5:49 The generator, which requires an oil change every 500 hours, is serviced alongside the main engine.0:45 The crew also addresses minor coolant leaks caused by loose hose clamps and investigates oil staining on the engine block, which they attribute to failing tappet cover gaskets.1:05 Future engineering projects planned at this location include installing a water maker, building a waste-heat water boiler, and implementing a rainwater catchment system on the deck before departing the Torres Straits for Indonesia.41:43
