  • Engine Components and Accessories: A thorough inspection of the engines along with all components and accessories to confirm operational readiness and quality.

  • Transmission and Related Accessories: Evaluation of the transmission and associated accessories for smooth, efficient function and durability.

  • Onboard Generators: A full assessment of onboard generators to check reliability, power output, and maintenance needs.

  • Software Data Download and Performance Testing: Utilizing software data downloads for diagnostics and performance testing to deliver a precise engine health check.

  • Sea Trials and Engine Operation Testing: Conducting sea trials for underway testing and operation of engine and controls, assessing performance under real operating conditions.

  • Cosmetic Fit and Finish: A detailed review of the engine’s cosmetic fit and finish to evaluate any aesthetic or structural concerns impacting value.

Each step provides essential insights and a comprehensive report, giving buyers and owners confidence in the engine survey results.
