[fitting a heat exchanger to a stw3]

cheers Tony sorry should have mentioned its a sea going vessel its running  a wet exhaust  and has a cam driven jabsco raw water pump..

Listers aren't that common in NZ seen anything useful on you tube as yet.

Thanks sorry Umm not sure havent seen a skin tank set before poss not common in nz is that a keel called type set up ? The reason was I had a starter fail so I've been hand starting for last 10 yrs or so and what is didnt know was the starter was providing current through cyc1 and it has some corrosion  within the cooling area thought this might help keep it from continuing to do any further damage and keep salt built up at bay.

 

Currently it working well thou

Hi Richard 

 

I have just had a STW3 put back together recently love the pics very handy to see, I think I have stuck rails  as the engine doesn't want to hold revs and is'nt powerful enough to make way any suggestion welcomed .

 

 

Cheers
