I was reading a thread about cooling systems on here and it generated some questions.
My boat (1997) has 7.4s with closed cooling systems. I’ve had it on the Great Lakes for 3 years, but it originally came from NJ salt water.
What is the typical lifespan of a transmission cooler, an oil cooler, and a heat exchanger?
I replaced the heat exchanger on my starboard motor last season, because I started loosing antifreeze, but all of the other components are original.
I was considering changing them proactively, but they are pricey (even aftermarket).
(on a related note: I bought the one heat exchanger from Lenco last summer; they were AWESOME to work with. They put me right into production the day and callled them & shipped that day, so I didn’t loose a weekend with boat.)
Advice appreciated.
