Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the 10-year refit project vessel Brupeg installs a new generator and repairs a leaking aluminum dinghy. To mount the generator, the team secures the unit on rubber mounts and prepares a temporary cooling loop using 1.25-inch clear hose to connect the radiator ports, allowing for a short test run without a permanent exhaust or keel-cooling system.1:52 They replace standard Jubilee clips on the cooling hoses with solid T-clamps to prevent failure.4:10
For the deck work, the crew welds a steel deck plate into a hatch opening.13:23 To ensure the plate sits flush with the surrounding 6mm steel deck, they use custom-fabricated steel "dogs" welded to the hull, which allow them to hammer the plate into alignment before final welding.16:39 During the welding process, the crew uses a bucket of water to catch sparks and maintains fire extinguishers nearby for safety.18:29 Additionally, the crew repairs a leaking dinghy by grinding out the old bungs and welding in new aluminum replacements.11:59 Maneuvering the vessel into a berth without thrusters requires using short forward bursts and precise rudder timing.9:45
