¿Qué cubre este video?

The owners of the 12-year-old steel vessel Brewpeg haul the boat out in Cairns, Australia, to investigate a persistent steering issue and address failing anti-fouling paint.0:07 After removing the rudder, the crew inspects the rudder shaft and bearing assembly.5:23 Measurements taken with an internal micrometer reveal a clearance of approximately 3.5 thou, indicating the rudder pin is slightly misaligned and causing the bearing to bind.19:31 The crew confirms the bearing itself is in good condition, but the tight tolerance between the pin and the bush creates the mechanical resistance.17:53 They plan to ream the bearing to increase clearance and resolve the binding.22:02 Additionally, the crew evaluates the hull’s paint system, noting that anti-fouling applied over non-sandblasted surfaces is peeling, while prop speed on the propeller remains intact.2:39 Regular greasing of the prop shaft bearing during operation has successfully maintained minimal play in the shaft.15:28
