Jeremy opens up the W-72's Superior Access Hatch to show how the entire deck section lifts away, giving you full daylight and room to work, or to remove an engine if it ever comes to that. Captain Harry takes you through the starboard engine room of the W-60, pointing out the Cummins 550hp, hot water systems, fire suppression, and every component you would need to inspect or service.
