Pre-Delivery Inspections
Most of our pre delivery inspections are on Princess Yachts given our proximity to Plymouth. Typically I inspect the motor-yachts with a small team of myself, an ex-Princess employee and engineer
Sea Trials & Systems Check
Verification of engine performance and installations. General inspection of fluid levels and leaks etc..
- Engine & Propulsion: Run the engine at maximum RPM to check for overheating, and at various speeds to check for vibration or shaft alignment issues. Record speed/revs performance for future reference. Â
- Handling: Test steering responsiveness, hard turns, and reversing. Observe how the boat planes, handles in waves, and maintains speed. Test all thrusters, trim tabs, Gyro stabilizers etc..
