Replaced Motor Cooling Hoses - $100

Replaced all the motor cooling hoses when I had the heat exchanger rebuilt. Most were soft. Ordered parts from Torreson Marine.

Heat Exchanger Rebuild - $360 Refunded

Water was no longer flowing out of wet exhaust. After checking the impeller and ensuring flow to the heat exchanger, I pulled it off to be rebuilt. It was rebuilt in Dallas by Superior Cooling. Cleaned rebuilt, and given a red epoxy coat.

Rebuild failed, got money back plus rebuilt properly as spare. Stored under quarterberth
