Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the 50-ft former fishing trawler *Brewpeg* conducts a series of high-speed engine trials to calibrate turbo boost pressure and identify mechanical vulnerabilities before heading to sea. During full-throttle runs, the engine reaches only 1650 RPM instead of the expected 1800 RPM, suggesting a potential throttle cable adjustment issue rather than an oversized propeller.22:30 The team also troubleshoots a non-functional radar unit, finding 12-volt power at the switch but no output to the motor, and identifies a harmonic vibration in the wheelhouse console that requires structural triangulation to prevent long-term damage.28:25 Maintenance tasks include replacing a Raspberry Pi with an Intel NUC for the *Brunette* instrumentation system, installing a quiet cooling fan with magnetic bearings, and routing a new harness for gearbox oil pressure monitoring.2:00 Coolant test strips confirm a 25–33% glycol concentration, providing freeze protection down to -12°C.33:22 Intentional high-speed testing under controlled conditions helps isolate mechanical and electrical faults while the vessel remains near port.22:11
