Engine Room Tour | Helmsman Trawlers 38E Pilothouse

Hello!
In this episode (actually it's a "one take" video) I show you around the engine room and mechinical space of our 2024 Helmsman Trawlers 38E.
At the time of this video we are about three weeks into our ownership journey and about 10 days into our repositioning trip from Charleston, SC to NYC!
Don't forget - any questions, please reach out to me.
Cheers,
Greg Messerle

Loved the tour, made the engine room less overwhelming. It would be awesome to see a video of you performing your pre-cruise checklist and eventually routine maintenance.

I really like this boat it’s the perfect size for the great loop. Congratulations 😊

[@HelmsmanHangout]

It’s a great Great Loop boat for sure. So comfortable, many places to hang aboard and very responsive around locks, marinas and rivers.

Great videos! What is the engine size?

[@HelmsmanHangout]

Cummins 380hp is what I have and is the standard engine in the 38E. It’s so reliable and a pleasure to turn on each time.
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the videos. How do you switch from lower station to upper station?

[@HelmsmanHangout]

Thanks for the question! So there are controls in the pilothouse and above at the flybridge. You simply put the engine in neutral propulsion, and if safe to move, relocate to the other helm location. Once you are ready to get underway (and to gain control at the new helm location) you simply hit the "active" button twice (2x) and you can control and can proceed.
Just remember: Neutral, move to next location, active/active and away you go!
