Sea Trial Report
| Sea Trial Item | Observation |
|---|---|
| Engine Starting | Engines started without excessive cranking. |
| Exhaust Appearance | Engine exhaust appeared normal overall. |
| Cooling Water Exhaust | Cooling-water discharge appeared adequate and normal. |
| Instrumentation | All gauges normal except starboard oil-pressure gauge. |
| Steering System | Steering responsive and operating normally. |
| Throttle Operation | Throttle controls operated properly. |
| Transmission Operation | Both transmissions shifted smoothly with no excessive noise or seal leaks. |
| Backdown Test | Backdown test satisfactory. |
| Rudder Linkage | Rudder linkage smooth underway with no leaks detected. |
Sea Trial Deficiencies Observed:
- Oil leaks detected at port exhaust manifold, #4 port injector nozzle, seawater pumps, generator fuel lines, and generator temperature sensor.
- Bow thruster heavily fouled with marine growth and became inoperable by end of inspection.
- Port and starboard bearing assemblies moving while shifting and require larger mounting bolts.
- Port and starboard seawater pumps leaking at weep holes.
- Coolant filters bypassed on both Lugger engines and require reconnection.
- Port and starboard alternator pulleys out of alignment.
WOT TEST:
Starboard engine produced slight white smoke during three-minute WOT run. Smoke disappeared once throttled back. Possible injector restriction noted. Fuel-system treatment with Lucas injector cleaner recommended.

Marine Engine Survey Summary
As a result of this marine engine survey, drivetrain inspection, cooling-system evaluation, operational sea-trial testing, and by virtue of experience, the overall propulsion package appears generally well maintained for age and hours.
OVERALL ENGINE RATING: GOOD
