What this video covers

The crew of the expedition trawler Brewpeg works to finalize the main engine installation and cooling systems in preparation for upcoming sea trials. After a failed initial attempt to set the engine mounts with Chockfast resulted in the resin leaking into the bilge, the team removes the gearbox to clean the mounts and re-align the engine.1:26 They fabricate and install custom keel cooling pipes, flushing the system with fresh water to remove rust before adding certified coolant.19:08 A modified aluminum reservoir tank is mounted to the engine room ceiling using 175mm aluminum angle brackets to improve accessibility for fluid filling.26:02 Simultaneously, the electrical team integrates a Cummins Hall Effect sensor to monitor shaft RPM, successfully transmitting data via NMEA to the wheelhouse gauges.14:10 The project remains on a tight schedule to complete engine testing, water-tightness checks on the dams, and final alignment before sea trials.23:07
