[crusader heat exchangers & oil coolers]

I have TWO Heat Exchangers and Two Oil Cooilers that came off twin 1999 454 / 320hp Crusader XLi engines

They are in very good condition. Was disappointed when I took them off to inspect and they didn't really need to be pulled. for the sake of time, I already bought the new ones so changed them out anyway.

Can be used as is... I had no issues with them - friend convinced me to change them because they were 'old' - They do not make the new parts
like the old ones!

$500 for everything.

I am in Randolph, MA - you would need to pick up or pay for shipping.

[new line of Sea Fox boats]

Just passed a new seafox 22 foot center console - it looked

pretty nice. Noticed on the hull, it now comes with a lifetime

warrenty.... have these designs changed from their old ones?

Anyone have one of the newer models that can comment on

quality, ride, fit - finish?

thanks

[Kohler 6.5 Generator]

Facing a catastrophic failure on my kohler 6.5 genset.

this is a 1998, about 1100 hours on it.

over the winter, I had a oil seal on the motor side replaced due to a leak.

The tech took the stator and rotator assembly off to get the

shaft on the motor side out to bring back to the shop to

replace the seal. he said this is the only way to get to the seal.

He came back, put it all back together. In the spring, I launched and the genset ran like shit. called tech, he said to let it run for a little bit and see if it works itself out - winterized and all, made sense. We ran it for about 2 hours and ended up just shutting it down. he came back out, changed spark plugs with out even starting it and it ran good. For about 15 hours - then it happened. Dark smoke poured out of the generator side exhaust and smelled like rubber burning. shot out little pieces of burned plastic/rubber ... dead.

they came back out, took it apart and the spinning thing in the rotator assembly actually broke off.

Now the battle begins - the tech took it all apart, we think he did not put it back together correctly, they say it is just coincidence.

anyone ever have this happen to them?

whats your take on it - why would this part snap off if not because it

was put together wrong.

any one ever sue a tech before for a faulty repair?

[Trade wanted]

Anyone interested in trading down?

I have a 1999 20' hydrasport vector with a evinrude 225 ficht on it.

(never had any 'real' issues with the ficht, about 500hrs on it).

This boat is 20'5" long, the marina I am staying at requires the boats

be a minimum of 20'7" long so I am in jeopardy of loosing my slip for

the 2"...they suck but rules are rules.

Looking for a trade up to similar style, 22' - 26'

I love the hydrasports and would rather stay

with them but would consider anything similiar.

don't have much cash so it has to be more of a even trade ..

laughing to myself ...

I know it is a long shot, just thought I would give it a chance -

If you are serious, pm me with what you have and I will send

more info. Boat is in the boston mass area.

[Kohler generator help]

Anyone familiar with the Kohler marine gensets?

I have a 6.5 ESZ that I 'think' is overheating and shutting

down. It runs for about 10 minutes then stops.

water flow is good, air intake is clear, changed fuel filter.

still shutting down. antifreeze level and oil levels are good.

now what?

now for my silly question, what forces the antifreeze to circulate?

There is no circulation pump like you would find on a regular

in board engine.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,

no excuses now for not doing it.

thank you for your help.

[LED lights for Engine Room]

Those are pretty nice -

I like those -

I currently have three separate 12vdc round bulb lights that are

wired together on one switch. Would I need a different switch

or wiring to replace what I have with 2 of the hella lights and

one of those strips?

Thanks for your help!
