Don't complain - suggest what's better
well it ain't really in this category .....yet ...... who needs a Menzi with this loon at the helm

balls of titanium ....... or no sense of self preservation :unsure::oops:
Loads of fun, some serious work on an extender blade as well better angle and some proper forestry tracks - a mini Tigercat. Don't fancy side slope though.

"🛠️ Major damage in way of propeller and rudder assembly, after touching bottom during manoeuvring 🛠️

Upon completion of discharging operations, vessel touched bottom during astern manoeuvring within a canal junction, in Amsterdam.

The outcome of the incident is remarkable. The rudder blade came in contact with the propeller, resulting in extreme deformation. Rudder blade below rudder horn pintle found bent to stbd side by approx. 40deg and rudder stock found slipped in housing by approx. 27deg. A number of propeller blades found bodily buckled by more than 90deg.

Repairs were carried out by ......... and were attended on behalf of H&M U/Wrs by our Piraeus Office Surveyors, who were involved in the project throughout, providing assistance on initial swift arrangements on repair methodology, monitoring progress / cost of repairs and reporting thereof.

Repairs involved cropping of the rudder blade and refabricating of middle section, supply of cast steel rudder horn pintle bush and processed to dimensions, refabricating of rudder horn pintle section, renewal of rudder stock and renewal of propeller."

looks like they preheated it then o_O:D

I'd guess that in the workshop those are dredger cutter heads in the background ......... I read that 10,000kW at the cutterhead is where its currently at !! 😲😲

" This is what happens when a computer glitch dropped the transmission from 6th gear back to 1st whilst doing 60kph fully loaded with 230 tonnes of material.

Below is what remains of a Caterpillar C175-16 – the 85L capacity V16 engine from Caterpillars’ second biggest dump truck, the 793, which has a gross power output of 1976 kW (2650 hp).
Flat out it revs at around 2500 rpm. As big as they are, engines of this size don't like to over-rev at all; 100-200 rpm over will start to do damage. God knows what it revved to when the glitch occurred… Maybe 3000-4000rpm.
There was no compression lock up, just BANG!

A new engine costs around $250k. Once you account for labor/shipping/opportunity costs/other affected components (transmission, drive shaft, etc) you’re looking at probably 3-4 times that by the time it was fixed. "
