Immediately after the fishing boat docked, the Center's technical staff grasped the damage and determined that the clutch had a damaged transmission gear system and was leaking oil. With the consent of the fishing boat captain, the Center's technical staff disassembled the clutch and brought it to the workshop for repair. By 10:00 a.m. on November 14, the problem with the PY 90009 TS boat had been fixed, installed, tested, and operated normally. Currently, the fishing boat is anchored at the dock, consolidating its fishing gear, and waiting for favorable weather to continue fishing.
