Hi folks,
I am getting ready to have a mechanical survey done on my soon to be boat (if all goes well). It has twin Cat 3208s, plus an Onan generator. I should have the genny checked while the guy is there, right? How long does a mechanical survey generally take for each engine? If I am having the regular survey done at the same time, does the mechanic go along for the sea trial to observe the engines under load? Any idea what prices would be reasonable? The boat is in La Paz, Mexico.
Sorry for all the questions, but I've never had a mechanical survey done before.
Thanks in advance, Bill
