Performance Boat Testing

Ovlov Marine do not carry out pre-purchase inspections. However we do carry out engine performance tests. This will analyse 5 key engine performance indicators. If one of these does not met engine performance specifications under full load then further checks will be required.

For increased fuel economy and for new engine installations, we provide the latest testing facilities to test engines performance in a variety of conditions.
As part of this service we are able to provide you with a comprehensive report as to the status of the engine in your vessel.
