Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the former fishing trawler *Brewpeg* performs hull maintenance and anode reduction while hauled out at a shipyard.Watch To prepare the hull for new antifouling paint, the crew uses 40-grit sandpaper to key the surface, noting poor adhesion between existing red and black layers.0:42 They decide to remove approximately half of the vessel's existing sacrificial anodes, concluding that the boat's upgraded electrical system has eliminated the stray current issues that previously necessitated a high number of anodes.4:33 The crew also prepares the propeller for a PropSpeed application, initially struggling with a 6-inch sander before switching to a Scotch-Brite style purple disc on a battery-powered grinder for more efficient removal of old coatings.13:02 Work proceeds under time pressure due to a limited budget for yard time and an incoming weather system bringing rain and humidity.1:42 The project emphasizes the importance of proper surface preparation and specific application timing for silicon-based propeller coatings.11:22
