After a year of storage in Tonga due to COVID-19, a cruising couple restores their Highfield dinghy and outboard engine to return their primary vessel, the 45-ft catamaran *Curiosity*, to service.1:57 The dinghy suffered from heavy mold and algae growth, requiring multiple applications of mold and mildew stain remover and manual scrubbing to restore the fabric.3:01 The outboard engine, a Yamaha, underwent a full service including an oil change, gear lube replacement, and spark plug cleaning.6:41 To avoid removing fuel lines from the dinghy, the owner utilized a local marine shop's test tank to verify engine performance and diagnostic data, which showed 204 total hours of operation.18:10 The engine was treated with a corrosion inhibitor to protect against saltwater exposure.21:02 After cleaning the topsides and performing a successful engine test, the crew launched the dinghy via tractor at a local boatyard.23:49 The project demonstrates that systematic maintenance and expert local assistance can revive neglected outboard equipment after long-term storage.
