Not saying it isn't yours, but it does seem unnecessary of them to have painted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the raw water cooling circuit was drained, it was 4 jubilee clips (2 on each pipe) and then just 2 bolts. Then wiggle it backwards. The hardest part was leaning around an engine at 90deg horizontal to see what bolts to undo. Will take about 45 mins to reassemble, but only because I bought new anodes and a new impeller as well.

Only trouble with it is it's now Volvo penta green not yanmar grey!! Should work better now then. Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
