Qué cubre este vídeo
A sailboat hauled out at Marina Monastir suffers serious drivetrain damage caused by shipyard negligence.0:08 The stern tube (tube des tombeaux), originally bronze, was torn out and had to be fabricated new; a local Tunisian machinist reproduced it in bronze to the original dimensions at 1,000 dinars, compared to 5,000–7,000 dinars in Europe.2:08 The propeller shaft was found bent during the haulout and replaced with a new old-stock unit sourced from a passing supplier.0:56 The core disaster unfolds when fiberglass workers, unsupervised by the mechanic who left to work on other marina boats, laminated the stern tube over its old impression rather than to original position, raising it out of alignment with both the shaft strut and the engine.4:25 The centering sleeve then failed to seat fully, confirming the misalignment.8:01 The mechanic forced reassembly anyway, causing the engine to vibrate severely and the propeller shaft to knock against the stern tube.8:46 Engine mounts were torn in the process; the mechanic initially denied responsibility until confronted with video footage showing the mounts undamaged before his intervention, at which point he reversed his account in front of the yard owner.11:05 Unsupervised fiberglass work on a drivetrain installation, without mechanical oversight of shaft alignment, can produce irreversible misalignment even when individual components are fabricated correctly.
