After running this new to me engine for about a year, I noticed some light black smoke from the exhaust. I'm a newbie to Diesel engines having run outboards my entire boating career. I met the mechanic at the boat to spend some time getting oriented with the engine, and to identify any issues. In examining the turbo, he noticed some play inside the housing along with a film of oil residue. He indicated that the turbo would need to be replaced at end of season. Engine has about 1250 hours on it. Boat is a 28' BHM. He also suggested that the injectors be pulled and sent out to be serviced as well. Iam having the prepare an estimate for this work (Cape Cod,Ma). Mechanic indicated cost of $3000 for turbo job (parts and labor) he wasn't sure about cost to have injectors sent out.
Wondering if anyone here could tell me what I should plan on spending on this job. Any insight is greatly appreciated as I look to learn as much as I can about my new power plant! I also plan to shop this out with another reputable Yanmar dealer off Cape.
I also joined Boatdiesel.com and posted this question there as well.
Thanks!
