Precision Surveys for Every Engine
Whether you're buying a weekend runabout or a long-range cruiser, Moore Marine Solutions delivers the independent engine assessment you need before you commit.
Gasoline Engine Inspections
Gasoline marine engines require a thorough evaluation of interconnected systems — a single overlooked component can mean a failed sea trial or an expensive repair bill after closing. Our gasoline inspections cover every critical system.
Fuel System
Fuel tanks, lines, filters, carburetors, and fuel injection systems inspected for leaks, corrosion, and proper operation.
Ignition & Electrical
Spark plugs, wiring harnesses, battery condition, alternator output, and starting systems evaluated.
Cooling System
Raw water and freshwater cooling circuits, impellers, heat exchangers, and thermostat function assessed.
Exhaust System
Manifolds, risers, and exhaust hoses inspected for corrosion, water intrusion, and carbon buildup.
Engine Mounts & Alignment
Motor mounts, shaft alignment, and vibration characteristics evaluated for wear and proper installation.
Compression & Performance
Cylinder compression testing and operational performance assessment under load conditions.
Diesel Engine Inspections
Marine diesel engines are complex, high-value powerplants. Our diesel inspections go deep — from injection timing to turbocharger condition — giving you a complete picture of the engine's health and remaining service life.
Fuel Injection System
Injectors, injection pump, fuel lift pump, and fuel filtration systems inspected for wear and proper delivery pressure.
Turbocharger & Intercooler
Turbocharger shaft play, bearing condition, intercooler integrity, and boost pressure evaluated.
Heat Exchangers & Cooling
Raw water cooling circuits, heat exchangers, keel coolers, and freshwater systems assessed for scale, corrosion, and flow.
Compression & Blow-by
Cylinder compression testing, crankcase pressure, and blow-by evaluation to assess ring and liner condition.
Gear & Transmission
Marine transmission, gear oil condition, clutch engagement, and reduction gear operation inspected.
Exhaust & Emissions
Exhaust smoke analysis, manifold condition, wet exhaust systems, and emissions characteristics reviewed.
Additional Services
Pre-Purchase Surveys
A complete pre-purchase engine survey is the most important step a boat buyer can take. We provide an independent, unbiased assessment with no financial relationship to the seller, broker, or repair yard.
Condition Reports
Detailed written reports documenting engine condition, findings, photographs, and recommendations. Formatted for acceptance by marine insurers and lenders.
Sea Trial Monitoring
On-water performance monitoring during sea trials — load testing, temperature monitoring, and operational assessment under real conditions.
Oil Sample Analysis
Engine oil samples collected and submitted for laboratory analysis. Oil analysis reveals internal wear metals, contamination, and fluid breakdown that no visual inspection can detect — one of the most reliable indicators of an engine's true internal condition.
