Hi all, I'm looking at an outboard that is a private sale. The motor is off the boat and stored in the seller's garage. I want to have it inspected by a mechanic prior to the sale, but it will either require getting it moved to a shop for the full inspection or hiring a mobile mechanic to assess it in place. My suspicion is that taking it to a full shop will allow full run-up and ECU diagnostics, but a mobile mechanic may rely more on compression tests and oil inspection. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
