Heat exchanger end covers
Posted: April 29th, 2017, 10:09 am
So last year while putting the boat away I'd noticed a small crack in the cover plate of my heat exchanger (oem part number 44446)
I put the boat in the water yesterday and fired my engines up and noticed a small drip from the end cap. After removing the end cap and getting it home it actually broke in half..
I've been searching the web for a directly replacement of the end cap without having to replace my current heat exchanger.
I've found several on the web but because rubber gasket has a groove right to left in the middle I'm worried if it won't seal properly... Now if that is the case I can use just the new end plate but I'd rather replace the seals and all.
hopefully the picture shows the groove I'm talking about.
