"Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a 1991 Searay 250DA that has a Volvo Penta 570 dp with about 520 hours on it. I've attached a picture in case this isn't a 570 and somebody can tell me so.
My main question is:
What should I be looking for that will tell me if the engine has any major problems? Water in the oil and compression are the obvious things, but are there any other specific things that I can look for?
Also, are there any known inherent problems with the 570 that I should be wary of? Are they generally a good engine? Any help is appreciated.
thanks
Lee.
