Mike, I did this job last year on my C&C33ii (2GM20F) and, as others have
suggested, take off the 4 bolts from the manifold. If you try to separate the
mixing elbow from the adjoining piece in place, you are liable to break
something and I don’t think you will be able to get enough leverage anyw
Mike:
I have virtually the same engine and did this job 2 years ago. If you
were doing it on a work bench, it would be easy but where it is makes it
a challenge.
First, the hose from the mixing elbow to the muffler..cut it and get
a new one.don't bother trying to take it off and reu
Take the whole thing off at the block. 4 bolts. Then you can use a big
wrench and a vice to get the pieces apart. You may want to replace the
part that attaches to the engine too. A light coating of high temperature
anti-seize will help get the pieces together tight enough to prevent
leakage.
While we are on mixing elbows, I plan on replacing mine this spring on my
Yammar 2GM20F. I am a bit worried about making a mess of this job as it looks
like the old one has never been touched and is firmly rusted in place. Any tips
for removing it?
Also, when I go to install the new one (whi
There are new aftermarket elbows being made of stainless steel. Not that
it matters but these are not OEM. Look around and you may find a polished
one. Dress up the engine room a bit. I see them on ebay all the time.
You can get the whole mixing elbow, nipple, and exhaust "riser" as one
package
could the oil cooler be a tube in shell "heat exchanger"?

If it's a Yanmar, the mixing elbow should be considered a consumable. I
replace ours every 1000 hours or so. I doubt the new one is stainless, they
have been silver cast iron forever.
I know nothing about oil coolers.

Was removing my mixing elbow for replacement, (weld is leaking). Has
anyone had theirs rewelded? A new one is $225. I think the new one is
stainless.
At the same time I noticed rust along the bottom of the oil cooler. Is this
an indication that the oil cooler is about to fail?

Yeah maybe it was short sided to use tape but the point was to "lubricate"
the threads and allow a tight enough connection. It is in fact tight
enough because my air filter now stays clean. Like i said, I may play hell
getting it apart should the need arise. As for fumes, i haven't noticed
any..
I know That teflon tape is not used in fuel oil heating system lines
because the fuel dissolves teflon tape.

Most if not all pipe dopes and Teflon tape sealers are not really there to

lubricate the threads so a sufficiently tight connection can be made. The

There’s a pipe joint between the mixing elbow and the exhaust elbow that screws
into both parts.
Do I screw this piece in dry or (more likely) use some sort of sealant?
If I need sealant - what do you guys suggest?

I have a 3gm30F and I put a new elbow in 2 weeks ago. My problem was
the engine would get hot if I went over 3300rpm then it was 3000 then it went
to 2800 and at that time I took the 90 degree fitting off the elbow and jammed
a coat hanger in the hole and after a while I could fee
ose and replace it with a new one. I just did this job last
season and should get 5-7 years out of it.

Absolutely. I think that hours of heat on that hose/mixer elbow
connection makes it impossible to remove without cutting it off. I keep
a section of 2" exhaust hose stuck in the back of the boat, just in case
I need to do it again. Maybe next time I'll try some Permatex #2 gasket
