heat exchanger

[inreeltrouble]

well the in reel trouble is down, the heat exchanger is leaking and losing all engine coolant out the exhaust,. called a few places yesterday and for used and no warranty 350.00 and new would be 700.00 if it's the one they still make otherwise it's discontinued:angry2:. anyone know of a good repair shop or more wallet friendly used boat parts store????

That’s a bummer Doug. I hope the repairs go well and do not put a big dent in your wallet

I feel your pain. I am down as well....nothing painless about trying to get rig mobile when she is down$$$$ best of luck!

[inreeltrouble]

well i brought it in to work ( gotta love gov. jobs at work!). and found that there is only one tube inside that is bad. they are only 1/8" tubes and there are roughly 50 of them so i am thinking that a little solder on both ends of the bad tube to seal it off i might be back in business atleast for now...

sweet you should be good to go for the weekend;)

I'm glad you will be able to fix it. If not, maybe a radiator repair shop could.

I have a used one here for a Merc Cruiser if you need it.

[inreeltrouble]

I just might??? is it part # 77319A1 if it is I may need it and what do you need for it?

[shu9265]

I will look up the numbers on the unit and post a picture for you.

Well here is a picture of the one I have, it has some dirt and grease on it.

Took it off from a Merc Cruiser 485. Part number is #77319

Anyhow the dimensions are: 3" diameter, 25 1/2" in long (end to end)

The inlets sizes are, 1 1/4 " and 3/4"

I also have the other part that hooks to the steering.

These guys have them new for $518.00
