From the folks at Boats and Places magazine here in Canada. This is part 3, but the links are there for the first two parts. Nothing earth shattering, but some good basic points to consider.

    Pretty good article ... do you have links to Part 1 and Part 2?  I couldn't find them.

    My last two surveys were combined survey + mechanical, but I agree with him that a boat with diesels probably needs a separate mechanical survey.

    About the only thing you can do on a diesel is an oil analysis and run it and check temps on the turbo, etc

    Hmmm. Now that I go back to the main site I don't see the links either. Maybe it's because I have a subscription.  I'll get on the laptop at home tonight and see what I can dig up.
