Qué cubre este vídeo

A 30-to-40-foot length of nylon fishing net fouled the port propeller of the catamaran reality while underway, causing an immediate engine shudder and loss of forward thrust.1:21 The crew shut down the port engine and navigated to Parga Bay, Greece, using only the starboard engine.1:44 After anchoring in 5 meters of water with 35 meters of chain, the crew dived to remove the debris from the propeller and rudder.14:29 To check for potential damage to the gearbox seals—which can be compromised if rope forces debris against the shaft—the crew inspected the transmission oil for signs of water intrusion, indicated by a milky, discolored appearance.8:37 The oil remained clear, confirming the seals were intact.9:30 The crew then performed a sea trial, running both engines to verify the propeller spun freely and checking for vibration under load.10:05 Regular monitoring of the gearbox oil level and color is necessary for the following week to ensure no long-term seal damage occurred.9:14
