ENGINE INSPECTIONS

Our engine survey consists of a visual inspection and a seatrial.
Visual inspection:
During our visual inspection we assess the following components:

Engine serial number(s)
Operating hours
Engine position and installation
Oil & coolant levels
Raw water pump & circuit
Exhaust system
Engine mounts
Air/fuel/oil filters
V-belts & pulleys
Fuel system
Coolant system
Alternator & starter motor
Transmission serial nº, oil level, ratio & installation
Electrical installation
Leaks of any kind
Stern gland/seal or stern assembly
Shaft alignment
Overall cosmetic condition.

Seatrial:
During a seatrial, we assess the overall performance and functioning of the propulsion system visually and auditory at different load intervals (including maximum load) and courses. In addition and if required, with the help of advanced equipment we carry out various temperature and pressure measurements.

During the seatrial we check the following components:

Starting procedure & condition of the batteries
Gauges and instrument panel(s)
Oil pressures / coolant temperatures
Vibrations of any kind
Exhaust system & possible smoke emissions
Engine supports
Engine compartment temperature
Leaks of any kind
Maximum rated rpm
Monitoring performance at different loads (including full) & courses.

The engine inspection includes a written report in which the readings, findings & recommendations of the inspected components are listed. If after the inspection there are grounds for further investigation, then the inspection can be extended with a lubricating oil & fuel analysis, engine diagnostics & history and compression test.

However, on powerful diesel engines with dedicated service schemes, we co-operate with the engine manufacturer official service agent to conduct the inspection and to supply engine diagnostics & history with specialized manufacturers equipment & corresponding software.

The results of this inspection will be included in our report.
