The crew of a 44-foot DIY catamaran project boat in Florida completes final preparations for launching after hurricane repairs. Tasks include calibrating NMEA 2000 tank sensors for tapered fuel tanks using N2K analyzer software, which requires measuring fuel volume in 5-gallon increments to map tank geometry.2:33 The team aligns the rudders, installs a temporary shower drain plumbed directly into the bilge, and secures an air conditioning unit to the deck.7:13 To verify water depth at the planned launch site, the crew plans to use a portable Bluetooth depth sounder with their new dinghy to map the area and avoid grounding.21:38 Engine testing involves running the motors with a makeshift raw water supply from a cooler to verify fuel lines, exhaust integrity, and gearbox function.5:18 The boat remains in the yard awaiting a crane launch, with remaining tasks limited to installing the propellers and loading the anchor chain.20:19
