probably one for Volvo Paul
seen a few boats for sale with Yanmar 6LP STE 300 Hp engines
read about an exhaust valve problem on web
are these engines OK?
 
Listen for any kind of ticking sound when idling or at low revs. They should burble and whirr, not tick. Dropping a valve hurts the wallet big-time.

Yes the 24 valve engines did have a problem but was sorted out, if its a sterndrive boat with mercruiser leg thats where the main problem lies.
