We have had the boat for one year. Bought it with 900 hours on 380hp QSB engines. Up to 1100 hrs now so we pulled starboard engine aftercooler to do clean and check, replace zincs, seals, etc.
Found some scale on seawater outlet side(bottom) of tube core. We soaked core tubes for about an hour in 1:10 mix of CLR and water. Cleaned up and rodded tubes with an aluminum rod and copper brush (for a 9mm firearm).
All tubes clear but there is still some scale visible on interior of seawater outlet end of tubes. Is this a significant amount or should we re-soak with CLR. Is there a point where CLR can start to deplete the core tube material? Vinegar?
