After two years at the dock, a boat undergoes a sea trial to test systems and maneuverability. Troubleshooting reveals that the 24-volt bow thruster system, comprised of two 12-volt AGM batteries, has failed due to deep discharge and sulfation from long-term inactivity.4:25 Multimeter readings confirm the batteries are depleted, showing 2.4 volts and 5.1 volts respectively, while the stern thruster battery shows early signs of similar degradation.3:17 The crew conducts a sea trial in calm canal waters with a professional captain to practice maneuvering, locking, and navigating near large commercial traffic.13:51 The vessel, constructed of aluminum, requires careful handling in tight quarters, prompting the owners to consider installing additional rub rails for protection.24:27 Maintenance efforts also include cleaning green algae from cork decking using a plug-in pressure washer and light water-sanding.19:08
