Thanks Tony for the thoughts and insight – amateurs like I are lucky to have you and this great resource. These motors have been in “brackish” water for the last 6 years – boat was under the Tapanzee bridge on the hudson river, NY. Marine age is certainly present!

I am in the process of servicing the after coolers per this site – have some photos of the pitting and wonder if there are too far gone. The starboard looks as thought a salt deposit “grew” and bent the core along with degrading the housing where the o-ring sits. There were no silicone strips on my version and with a bit of persuading, they came out alright… ( photos below of after cooler housing and ores). there was plenty of impeller part in the bottoms of these coolers.

you guys mind giving some insight on the coolers / cores shown below? second upload is starboard side. photos have makings of side?

Seawater side is in the process of being done thought – heat exchangers look pretty good. Oil coolers are off as well.

Exhaust elbows and inspecting the turbos are certainly of concern as well –

All your items above are on my list- the CCV discovery is new, but, learning about that.

Thanks!

Thank you Tony. I have been through many of your articles, great advice and tips! First month with the boat so coming to a better understanding of whats needed and steeps to do it correctly.

Thanks Cory – I suspected that set up to be an issue after going through the site before purchase. Is the only option custom elbows? The plan over the winter is to take apart exhaust and cooling system to get solid base -line and find potential problems before something serious develops… Thanks!

Thanks, Tony, for the welcome and insight. I’m not afraid to admit i’m learning more all the time about these motors and still have a long way to go.

Serial numbers are : Port: 46041642 Starboard: 46043060 and attached are 2 shots of the exhaust elbows in particular that I have some concern about based on information I’ve ready here.. Appreciate the insight.
