What this video covers

Damien and the crew of Project Brupeg are preparing for launch while addressing engine room and structural tasks. A failed attempt to pour Chockfast for engine mounts resulted in significant leakage due to inadequate dam construction, forcing the team to remove the gearbox, clean the bilge, and restart the process with improved sealing techniques.2:27 Meanwhile, the team is installing a custom gearbox oil cooling system that utilizes external keel-cooling pipes to transfer heat into the seawater, replacing the factory hot-water heat exchanger.0:49 Other ongoing projects include fabricating stainless steel storage racks for the wheelhouse, installing throttle control brackets, and integrating an automated grease-filling system for the prop shaft and rudder.8:24 Following community advice, the team decided to launch the boat without the engine installed, allowing the hull to settle in the water for 48 hours before performing a final engine and gearbox alignment.27:09
