S1E38. Brand New Outboard First Start & Break-In | Did I Do This Right? (Tender Sea Trial)
Welcome back to Sailing UV ⚓ The best sailing show on earth!
Today we finally get our brand-new tender outboard installed, serviced, and running for the very first time. Before this boat can go anywhere, the dinghy has to work — and that means properly preparing and breaking in a brand-new engine the right way.
In this episode:
• Filling gear oil & engine oil (they ship dry!)
• Mounting the outboard on the tender
• First start & real-world break-in run
• Working the bugs out before cruising season
• Getting one step closer to moving the sailboat again
This is all part of preparing the boat for real cruising life — the small systems matter just as much as the big ones.
If you’ve ever wondered what the first hours on a new outboard motor are actually like, this is the honest version — no showroom, no dealership, just real boat life.
💬 We Want Your Advice
Do you follow a strict break-in procedure on new outboards?
Or just run it normally?
