What this video covers
Jo, Timo, and Nemo relaunch their Open 66, Envy, after a six-week haul-out for a complete engine repower.0:20 The project involved removing the original engine and installing a more powerful unit, a process documented in a dedicated series.3:47 During the time on the hard, the crew applied a fresh coat of antifouling to the hull and the bulb, color-matching the bulb paint to the new engine.1:59 Upon launching, the crew performed an initial engine start-up, discovering that the saltwater strainer required manual priming before the system would circulate water correctly.6:35 Once properly filled, the engine operated quietly and reliably during the initial sea trial.6:02 The crew successfully tested the transmission in both forward and reverse gears before motoring away from the dock.7:21 Replacing a marine engine requires careful attention to the saltwater cooling system's prime to prevent overheating during the first start-up.
