How much for a over haul of a marine diesel?

Question

A overhaul how much would that cost on a 85 Horse power diesal on a sail boat? They dont look to be easily extracted

Answer 1

most of the price is the labor and if you are at a descent marine repair shop it will be somewhere between 5 and 8,000 ........ best that you get an estimate and a true cost from a marine repair shop ..  what kind of boat ...  where city ... are you in or out of the water .. many variables .... look around fore some shops that can fix your motor and ask for a warranty (((((  IF YOU CAN´T GET A WARRANTY THEN you need to look elsewhere)))) good luck

Answer 2

If you are really lucky, you will only have to overhaul the head, which can be easily removed.  If the block needs overhaul it just depends if you have room to elevate it enough to get access to the crank and it has liners.  If you have to do any machine work it will be better to remove it.

good luck!
