Yachts can be extremely high prices to purchase new. This is why more people are turning to purchase used yachts to keep the cost down. But, there are so many common issues rising with the purchase of used yachts. Today, we are going to share with you the 5 most common issues you should be looking out for when purchasing a used yacht.

1- Electrical Issues
People are commonly selling their yacht due to coming across an issue. One of the more common issues is with the electrics within the yacht. To see if the yacht you are wanting to purchase has any electrical issues you should turn on every item that has an electrical supply. This will help you to see if any of them are broken and not working.

2- Rotten Wood
This is not nearly as common as it once was before, as boat makers are no longer using untreated wood. But it is still a common issue with purchasing used yachts. You should check for any rotten wood as this can cause issues with your yacht in the long run.

3- Cabin Leaks
These are generally easy to spot due to the watermarks which they will leave behind. These can sometimes be simple and easy to fix. But if you want to purchase a yacht that is ready to use, you should avoid one with any form of leaks.

4- Engine Issues
Like when purchasing any items with an engine, it is highly common for there to be issues with the engine. Before purchasing you should check that the engine works smoothly and effectively.

5- Everything Else
Of course, you can never spot or list every single issue you may find in a used yacht. For example, you will need to check the steering, that it is working effectively. You should also check the throttle, that it isn’t sticking making it difficult to use.
