Was seeing signs of the heat exchanger going over the last few month (expansion tank level, engine temps creeping up) and when the alarm started sounding after running at high RPMs after about 5 minutes (temps creeping above 200F) I knew it was time to pull it.
Of course it’s the starboard engine, so the heat exchanger is outboard, real PIA to take out. Soaked it (estimate about 1/3 of tubes with at least some blockage) and then pressure tested and it just wouldn’t hold for long. So, time to replace.
Checked Seaboard’s parts – you folks have one of the newer style (Champ) and of course, I need the older Sendure (looks like the original was PN 3866719, later replaced by 4019958). Found a new one on eBay, order is in … will update when it arrives.
I’m going to start doing my old fat guy yoga now so I can get outboard and do the replacement.
