What this video covers

Damien fabricates a custom outboard motor storage rack for the transom of the 10-year-rebuild fishing trawler *Brupeg*.0:03 He constructs the rack using pine timber for the mounting board and stainless steel brackets welded directly to the steel hull.1:44 To ensure a clean finish, he applies a two-part epoxy primer using a "bow wave" painting technique, utilizing masking tape to catch excess paint runs.2:28 The crew positions the rack horizontally to allow for easier outboard servicing, such as gearbox oil changes, over the deck.8:41 Before departing for a fuel stop, the crew performs a standard pre-departure check of engine oil, hydraulics, coolant, and steering systems.9:04 While navigating to the fuel dock, the vessel encounters a bulk carrier and coordinates a port-to-port pass to maintain safety.10:01 At the dock, the crew takes on approximately 558 liters of fuel.12:30 Because the vessel lacks steering authority in reverse, the operator maneuvers in tight quarters by alternating short bursts of forward gear with neutral to control the heading.13:32
