Qué cubre este vídeo
The owners of the Oyster Marine 37 HERITAGE, based at Deakin's Marina on the River Hambal, perform annual winter haul-out maintenance.1:02 Preparations include filling the diesel tank to prevent condensation, removing head sails to reduce windage, and conducting a manual rig check for loose wires or swage wear.1:18 To prevent damage during the lift, the crew removes the speed paddle wheel and forward scan sonar transducers, replacing them with blanking plugs.5:49 Once ashore, the crew identifies uneven anode wear, suggesting a high-resistance electrical path that requires investigation.12:03 To maintain the AGM engine battery while the boat is stored, they reconfigure the battery-to-battery charger to draw power from the lithium house bank and solar array.12:37 Hull maintenance involves sanding the existing antifoul, applying Micron 350, and removing gel coat rust stains with oxalic acid followed by a polish.14:16
