Cosa tratta questo video
A 600-pound diesel hybrid engine is lifted into a catamaran under severe clearance constraints at a boatyard, with a telehandler borrowed from neighbor Colby, who is simultaneously installing his own engines.2:56 The first lift attempt fails when the telehandler's carriage proves too tall to clear the cabin top while reaching into the cockpit; the crew removes the carriage, repositions the machine, and reroutes the lifting chains through the telehandler's pivot pin before successfully setting the engine onto a pallet in the cockpit.5:18 Minor fiberglass damage results and requires a full day or more of sanding to repair.11:24 Because the boat is a catamaran, the process must be repeated for the second engine.6:24 Separately, Matt and Jessica continue interior wiring and plumbing conduit work: Matt drills and glasses 1.5-inch fiberglass sleeve inserts into interior bulkheads using TotalBoat Structural Putty to reinforce holes that form a conduit run from Bulkhead 6 through the master head to Bulkhead 5, and Jessica sands and laminates fiberglass strips over the openings from both sides.13:19 Waiting on electrical components from Vic Chon and Dakota Lithium before pulling wire through the completed conduit.18:39
