Owners’ comments:
The engine was professionally serviced in June 2023, all all-new oil, coolant, impeller, filters, and belts. Additionally, the engine has a new freshwater pump and thermostat.
A new exhaust line was also added in 2022.

The engine is extremely reliable, and the thermostat has alarmed only once (as the current owner knows of) because of a coolant leak which is now fixed.
