Just Starting or Actually Drive Testing Engine ??
We are looking at a boat with a Yanmar Diesel. It has been rebuilt, new pistons, rings, bearings injectors etc. and has about one hundred hours on it after rebuild.
The boat is in the hard and realistically mid april would be the 1st. chance to launch for a engine trial.
Is starting and running/shifting the engine a good enough indicator or does it actually have to be put under load to get a good indication on the condition.
Thanks!
David
