Qué cubre este vídeo

The restoration of the fishing trawler Brupeg reaches a milestone as the crew prepares the main engine for its first start after a 10-year rebuild. To support the 24-volt starter motor, the team reconfigures the battery bank from 12 volts to 24 volts in series.0:50 They test the alternator’s functionality by spinning it with a drill and monitoring the AC waveform output via an oscilloscope to ensure the tachometer receives a signal.2:24 The cooling system setup includes a header tank mounted above the engine to prevent air pockets in the water pump, while the gearbox oil system incorporates a sump ball valve and a remote-mounted Parker cartridge filter to facilitate servicing.12:00 To prevent fuel backflow and potential engine flooding, the crew installs a one-way check valve in the fuel return line.12:32 After plumbing the fuel and coolant lines, the team performs a leak test using antifreeze to identify any potential drips.15:53 The final phase involves a comprehensive pre-start checklist covering oil levels, hydraulic systems, and electrical connections.18:24
