Common issues

  • Compressor wheel fouling due to poor air filtration
  • Turbine blade erosion from high-temperature exhaust gases
  • Bearing failures resulting from inadequate lubrication or contamination
  • Seal wear leading to oil leaks and reduced performance
  • Inadequate cooling system maintenance causing overheating
  • Carbon buildup on turbine and compressor components
  • Imbalance or vibration issues from worn or damaged components

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for damage or wear
  • Check bearing condition and lubrication levels
  • Inspect seals and gaskets for signs of leakage or deterioration
  • Verify proper cooling system function and maintenance
  • Check for any signs of vibration or imbalance
  • Inspect inlet and outlet ducting for blockages or damage
  • Verify turbocharger control system function and settings

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
