OK, first off taking the boat by the owner was a good idea on his part.
He may not have run the boat for a while, and wanted to make sure it ran good for the sea trial. That is a VERY plasuable explanation.
Second, “turbo exhaust hose blew causing haylon to go off”
I think most likely he is talking about the high pressure side of the turbo, going to the intake system, or aftercooler depending on the engine.
I personally had one of those blow, and it scared the crap outta me. Just running along and BOOM!
I suppose it could have if the heat sensor on the haylon system was directly adjacent, caused the haylon to discharge. Actually it’s probably not haylon anyway. There are a couple newer gasses used for this as Haylon is a ozone depletor.
In my boats case it was simply a broken hose clamp. I put a new one on from my handy dandy spares kit and was good to go.
So...
No i would not walk away. I would find out exactly what happened, and what was done to mitigate the problem, and be thankful it did nt happen the day AFTER you bought the boat.
