David if you wan t to discuss off list, I have a mixing elbow that I
bought and used  for  a year before  replacing with the one I
fabricated.   Still in good condition.

Next stop on the tour of my engine, the exhaust mixing elbow has a crack
in it and both water and exhaust are coming out. I've never used JB
Weld, but thinking this might be the time to learn.

Of course the elbow and nipple connecting ot the coolant tank look like
they haven't been moved since the boat left the Catalina factory. I've
been putting Liquid Wrench and PB Blaster on at the begining of each day
and hope the heat and vibration is working it in.

Have been having some AMAZING trips. One thing I've learned is that if I
have happy people on my bow, I don't even mind having the engine on, but
sailing is still best!
