Hello Cruisers,
in our
Broadblue 42, we have two
Volvo Penta D2-55. After we found major
corrosion on the port side
exhaust elbow and
heat exchanger which ultimately needed replacement, we asked the engineers to take it on the starboar side apart as well to doublecheck there (we are not on the
boat atm).
Results see pictures attached, what would you recommend us?
Engineer is recommending to exchange, but they always recommend to exchange everything. And whilst it would be okay to exchange the
exhaust elbow, the
heat exchanger would be a high-ticket item we would not want to spend this season...
So would it be valid to ask the mechanics to just clean and
repair the heat exchanger? What is with the exhaust elbow?
Greetings
Timo
