Hi Edd, I've owned the boat for 4 years, have replaced the coolant twice, and have checked the mixing elbow a couple times. I have never checked/cleaned the heat exchanger. I'm not quite sure what you mean by the tube stack?
Is there a good source of information as to the proper maintenance procedures? Thanks!
