You may be overthinking this. It might just look ugly. You could always remove it and clean it up and/or find a local radiator shop to boil it out. Joe Coquina C&C 35 MK I with a clean heat exchanger - I let it sit in a bucket of vinegar with the end caps off

However, I'm worried about electrolysis as the zincs have not been changed in the last two and a half years and there is lot of green coating on it at the ends and fittings. I'm planning on taking the boat from Mobile Bay to Washington NC the end of March by water, so I have a little time to get it right. Just don't want a problem once I'm on the move. I'll be back to the boat week after next. I'll pull the caps off and check the zinc and see what the condition looks like. Maybe I can find a shop that can give me a quick turn around if it looks bad. All my previous boats are/were raw water cooled A4s. I'm just not familiar with exchangers and their possible failure issues. Thanks, Mark On 2/16/2017 9:50 AM, Joe Della Barba via CnC-List wrote: Does it leak or overheat?
