Bruce,
There are a few marine Diesel engine maintenance books out there, and your
engine manual may have enough info on that alone.
To check the tube stack, you’ll need to remove the end caps and slide it out.
Do a check for corrosion and clean. If you see corrosion or holes, replace it
($200-300). Replace the o-rings on the end caps as well.
All the best,
Edd

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!
