Marine Engine Evaluations

Your Marine Engine Evaluation Experts

At David Hinkel, Inc, we’ve been surveying marine diesel engines for more than 45 years. For a thorough survey of your vessel’s engine, turn to us for reliable service. 

An engine survey consists of a complete inspection of the propulsion systems and marine generators. This includes: 

• Cold checks of the fluids, belts, and valves
• Installation of test gauges
• Electronic downloads, if equipped with an electronic control module (ECM)
• A trial run and recording of mechanical and electronic operating conditions

The oil is sampled from the engines, transmissions, and generators after a trial run.

A detailed report of your engine and its sub-systems will be ready within 48 hours.

For marine engine evaluation, contact us today.
