Hi All.
I am in the process of buying an older motorboat, with Perkins 6354HT engines.
I have been advised to do an oil test and a decompression test, as part of the survey, due to insurance requests.
The owner seems to think the decompression test could damage the engines, and I, would then be responsible for fixing the breakage ?
If I am paying a reputable company, to do the tests for me , then if anything breaks due to the decompression test, surely the company providing the service , have to repair whatever they broke ?
I am not a total novice, and I have so far, not heard of a decompression test, causing any damage ?
Any help & advice, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
