Engine oil lab test opinions needed
#2
The engines will be fine at that low hours, I would be concerned about the elbows and risers and if its raw water cooled, the exhaust manifolds. They have a 5 year life span. That could be an expensive fix. Also have the I/O oil checked for water in the oil. Replacing the seals is another expensive fix. Next check when the water pumps have been serviced, another expensive fix. Any wise boat seller always changes the oil before the sale so the results will come back as OK. Capt. George
