A friend is thinking of buying a yacht with twin diesel engines. He doesn't
trust the people who inspect boats because he believes they are in cahoots with
the yatch brokers. He asked me if I'd take a look at the engines in the boat he
made an offer on. Are there some things I can check on without taking a lot of
time and using expensive equipment? He suggested checking the exhaust for smoke
but since diesels burn oil anyway I wouldn't expect to tell much from that. Oil
analysis is out because the owner just changed it.
