  1. Why would the thermostat be damaged? In the picture the green filler cap is where the coolant goes. The leak was through the perished rubber. The temperature gauge showed a reduction in heat when we switched off the engine after noticing the rise in temperature. Is the thermostat likely to be housed near the perished rubber ? Any idea where one buys replacement heat resistant 5 cm ext diameter, 3cm internal heat resistant rubber for this sort of job ?
  2. Thanks for the reply. Aluminium is fine it was just perished 5cm rubber hosing attached by two jubilee clips each side. However would love to find an expert to take a look. Although I can easily repair that bit it’s just one of the perished rubber hose connectors.
  3. I have this engine in my seagoing Fisher 34. It’s the original 1979 engine. 1800 hours. I bought her in 2016. The exhaust was a total rebuild. Have serviced her yearly since and she has run smoothly. Noticed several perished connectors including that from water cooler to engine. That perished last trip out, last week, noticed engine overheat, switched off and we were towed back. Are there any experts on this type of engine who travel to Dorset to repair in situ? Would be happy to pay for an assessment.
