Hva denne videoen dekker
The crew of a Prout Ltd. Snowgoose 37 Elite attempts to repair a corroded Tohatsu 9.8hp two-stroke outboard in Townsville, Australia, after the engine overheats due to a failed impeller and a rotted water pump housing.▶ 0:40 Multiple bolts shear off during disassembly, revealing extensive salt-crust damage and pitting in the cooling passages.▶ 0:22 After failing to salvage the original engine, the crew purchases a used 5hp Mercury two-stroke from a private seller on Facebook Marketplace.▶ 15:24 This replacement engine also requires a new impeller and a thorough cleaning of the gummed-up carburetor jets to restore water flow and idle stability.▶ 16:19 Following these outboard repairs, the crew prepares to haul the catamaran at Rosshaven Marine to address severe barnacle growth on the hull.▶ 21:09 Due to a lack of local stock of commercial Coppercoat, they decide to apply a DIY copper-epoxy antifouling mixture to the hull during the upcoming haul-out.▶ 22:56
