I apologize for all the questions but I am probably going to buy this boat (2003 Mako 192) but I can’t get it to an authorized Honda mechanic and can’t get one to come to the boat, so I am doing this on the fly.
Here is is what I have checked so far:
1- verified that the serial number is above the range of blocks that were susceptible to cracks
2- verified the VST fuel system was upgraded
I was going to have a compression test done and call it a day but a Honda dealer I called recommended a leak down test. Any thoughts ? Should this be done only if compression comes back off?
Any other things I should be checking ? I will be hiring a mobile mechanic to do the compression test and such, just wish he was a Honda guy
thanks for any and all suggestions
