Our new Go-Fund-Me generator has arrived, now we need to get it on the boat. This was harder than you would think and took some left field thinking to solve it. So of course the solution involved lifting Brupeg out of the water for a night...
We promise, this episode is about lifting the generator onto the boat!
Thank you for all your support!

Thanks for watching and for your support!
Good to see the progress. Regards to all.
Btw No long tynes. Thay are called slippers. That slip over the tyne :D
You got that prop walk down to an art in reverse.
I think you would benefit having a ships/spoke wheel on the bridge, less fighting with the wheel, and also have you considered a wheel or joystick and controls out on the aft deck for steerage?
Thanks mate. Wheel is about to be changed soon.
Nice reverse driving
Thanks
Time to add a bow rudder for reverse driving!
When going backwards you need to use the rudder opposite way of where you want to go, and some small bursts in forward to steer. But get rid of the propnozzle, and get an ordinary propeller. Your boat will handle a lot better, get more efficient and probably higher speeds.
These nozzles are only good for heavy towing.
So where is the magic button for the secret hatch? Good luck with putting the gen set in.
It’s the on/off button on the plasma cutter or 9” angle grinder. One of them is a bit more magic… 😂
Legend says only the brave and true can find the button. Many have tried but it still remains elusive. The quest continues…
@@ProjectBrupeg Lmao 🤣 I believe it is the plasma with forward looking insightfulness to make a damn hatch at the back for future misadventures. IMHO
@@ProjectBrupeg Ah the magic button where does it hide....As far as I know the only magic button is hidden somewhere on a woman. Men have been trying for a long time to discover where the elusive button hides. Button, button who's got the button. Only the women know. ....... I wonder what the AI algorithms think about this off the cuff jokes that some of us get and play with vs serious Convo? I could really go for messing with the algorithms, just to see if it generates anything for the channels I like and follow.
So after a lifetime of boat ownership I always felt so happy after every opportunity taken to clean and apply a coat of antifoul its like a shower and new clothes after a month at sea. Such a good feeling.
she looks good but having paint blown off like that might mean an earth leak or current leaking with all that over engineered electronics it wouldn't be hard to have a wire that is bonded in the wrong place. time to get the sparky back in
I was so close to sending you a transom mounted 12v camera for going astern, the girlie friend has just bought a new citroen which is fitted with one, anyhoo I manage to get it off and almost to the post office , but she caught me, she said im so grounded, which is stange as we live on a boat, lol ( you need a bow thruster, haha, ) ok ok no need to get heavy, you manage just nicely, let us see you in a strong beam wind direction, or bow quater wind direction while fighting a swirling currant, lol, steady steady just winding you up, lol
You could probably hang the radio handset up in the wheelhouse from a retractable cable while underway closer to the wheel so it's easier to access And not pulling itself back towards the window. Every time I let go of it then all you have to do is reach up and grab it
surprised they dont just have a winch that pulls the boat in and have guys both sides directing it
It seems like the Cummins is putting out an awful lot of black smoke.
Only when you put your foot down. While steaming it’s perfectly clear
Some serious steering Captain
Not half bad going astern! , Give little corrections giving a litlle forward, everytime whit the rudder in the opposit position a few degrees. then back astern, Dont change the rudder position.. Dont panic, easy does it. Nice to see her sailing again! Thumbs up!
The patches on the bow look excellent!
Super important safety procedure. When you load something like the genset on the forks, strap it down, then wiggle test it, it's critical you say "Yeah, that's not going anywhere..." ;)
Great point!
Yay Genset on board. Well done team Brupeg.
I'm curious, you keep calling it a boat, but i'm not sure
Apparently a boat leans inwards when turning, like a speedboat, but a ship leans outwards.
Huh! Never knew that was a thing. Maybe it is a ship then
Seriously impressive backing.
Thanks mate
Brupeg looks and sounds so good on the water. Closer and closer to those full sea trials.
Well done Captain Pugwash and crew
I could not help but notice that your back-up alarm was not activated.
You could take the generator head off the engine and it may be easier to handle, it would require less hole to fit through and it’s pretty insignificant work to split them and reassemble them. Just my thoughts.
Keep up the good work...
Is Brupeg a "She"?
All boats are 'she' 😊
First😊!
The thumbnail looks like a guy with a red pointy beard sitting at a computer with his forearm showing and a curved black shroud over his head and back and black armor on his shoulder and upper arm...lol.
OMG Last week I asked if you was lifting the boat out to get the genny in through the bottome!!!!
Ok so not quite a lift in through the bottom but still mutch fafage to do it, worth it though for the genny and sorting out the anti fouling .
Filming procedures makes for proper lift procedures. Must be deep into the gen set fitting. Lucky you have young bloke with you. Communication is key.
That motor sounds amazing. Like you said it will take time to get good at manoeuvring that size of vessel one thing I would suggest is a helm on you outside deck then you will be able to dock by yourself
As a bit of a reversing expert myself I thought you did orrite!
The engine starts and sounds so amazing. Aside from some growth on the prob, the hull looks fairly clean. 👍👍
Looking forward to see the genny setup. She looks fantastic
Kind of held my breath watching that reversing manoeuvre.
Going to have to start diving and scrubbing Brupeg to keep the growth down?
So happy to see those cooling pipes not covered in marine growth... it was worth all of the pain. So good to see all of the progress now Damien and Jess. Good things come to good people. Cheers
Ours doesn't like to turn in reverse but lots of throttle pumping (like drifting a car) with full lock on the wheel pulls her around. The short bursts gets the water flow across the rudder without having to be moving at speeds if that makes sense
Build a fold down auxiliary bracket on the back to mount the outboard motor on sideways, then lower into the water and use forward and reverse as a stern thruster 😂😂😂😂😂
Busy Day............................................>👍👍
Cast off the ropes lol
I got told the only 'rope' on a boat is tied to the buckets handle!!
bottom looked real good late night sessions before the splash deadline the reality of boat life lol miners lights are the cats a$$ for what you're doing in the dark be safe all
Well you have spud as a captain. So why not a gun to fire him from. 🤣🤣
I am of course taking the p1$$. 👌 Brupeg's bottom is nice and clean after so long in the river-sea water. Fantastic video 2x👍
Years ago up in Cairns a number of American super seiners did their refits at the Tropical Reef Slipway , talking to one they said it was the first time out of the water in 5 years and the amount of barnacles would not have filled a 20 litre bucket .
They brought their own anti fouling paint with them which took two men to carry a 5 gallon tin , so much metal in the paint . Anti fouling is less effective these days because of environmental concerns .
When you get a chance , clean that prop down to bare metal again and apply a good etch primer before anti fouling next time .
Hi guys,
I always admire the way you face new challenges. You are, as ever an inspiration.
Ps: super healthy at the moment, took the dogs to the park myself today 😊❤️👍⛴️🇬🇧
Thats fantastic Mike. So good to hear mate. Dame
Kittah pilot says "Not too shabby for a two legged human". Always utilize the knowledge of the harbor pilot!
I'm so happy so many gave to the gofundme so your able to get everything needed. I'm a US Navy Veteran and I've loved watching your channel almost from the start of it and I'm really impressed with everything yall have gotten done. So glad you'll have a new generator now! Great video and good job on steering her into the lift. See everybody on your next video, take care until then! 👍
Another go Fund Me addition milestone. More practice reversing and learning. Try a broad slow sweeping turn to starboard. Align the boat in target area. With little wind, sea state or current, slowly reverse.
If you cant steer in reverse you done a good job of getting the boat in there.
Woo hoo! Jolly good show!👍👍
I am glad you have that new engine and now a new gen set. A pig’s ear can only do so much. Finally, I can’t believe it has been 6 months in the water.
The logistics of big projects is amazing to watch put in motion. Kudos!
Another alternative to longer forks to get the pallet out of the ute would be to pop off the tailgate. It’d let the lift get that extra scootch closer. A good trick to keep in your back pocket.
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
Love my monday morning episodes puts me in a good mood and makes going to work less painful 😊
dooh, while replacing the bow plates would have been perfect time to install the box thruster, plenty of steerage
It’s a nice to have but not critical.Brupeg has been without a bow thruster for fifty years. We just need to understand how she moves and we can back her into most places
You need to get one of those reversing cameras installed with the guide lines to help you backing up like that.
By the way, have you considered a bow thruster again, I remember you said before that it was not necessary but it seems to be that the handling could be dramatically improved especially for someone who does not have the experience you have piloting that boat. If it is mainly cost you could consider another croud funding round in about 12 months.
Capt. has the experience, he's just learning a new boat and being cautious. The reverse was pretty epic as it goes. Nailed it.
For us a bow thruster is a nice to have but not essential. While it would make steering in reverse possible, Brupeg has worked fine for nearly fifty years without a bow thruster. To add a bow thruster it’s maybe 20grand all up with all the system costs associated with the install. For us given we are community funded it’s just not value for money.
@@ProjectBrupeg I appreciate that it is a nice to have and that it's a community funced project, but that does not mean it should be off the table, there is a case to be made for this feature which is why I suggest keep it there and revisit it in 12 months or so.
This is an amazing project and I am really enjoying watching it, thanks for taking us on the journey with you.
Thanks Dennis. It’s definitely not off the table. Thanks for watching. Dame
Another option would be a dinghy with a powerful outboard motor to give a 'nudge' as required. Can also be useful for running lines ashore or dropping kedge anchors.
Nice gen set btw!
We think so too, so grateful to have it onboard finally!
👍👍👍👍👍
The little ute that could.. What a solid performer that little Hilux has been. Much respect for it.
Honestly it’s the best car we have collectively ever owned. It’s been incredible
Noice m8ts!
while a potato cannon might have its uses i think i may have a project to tax damiens engineering overkill ocd ;] travelling with firearms is generally not encouraged so chemical power is hard to come by leaving the mechanical kind. there are times when getting a line further than you can throw it are of use and i could use some metalwork for prototyping lol bullpup pistol ballista should be able...i havent bothered to learn the math for torsion bundles and torsion to figure it all out im more that should work based lol . let me know if you want more details its still design stage. as always thanks for the videos.
We might give it a go.. we had a design sorted years ago; once we leave Australian waters. Main use: fun, of course. 😁 j
@@ProjectBrupeg A crossbow seems to be the easiest to manufacture and very easy to stow when not needed. Thanks for the update
Damned fine piece of seamanship in that evolution, Damian. Well done you!
i thought you had bow thrusters
Nope. Just a single prop in the nozzle
Dear Jess and Damian,
Lifting Brupeg out of the water to clean the hull, keel, rudder and propeller is always good and in most situations people are adding an extra layer of antifouling at the same go. The new generator looks absolutely wonderful and will bring enough power on board. Willeke and I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
