[C38] Where to get heat exchanger for standard 5424 Universal

[Richard E. Kilroy]

Definitely go for the three inch size, I did it about 20 years ago. Don’t know where you are physically located but you might try Hanson marine in Marblehead, Massachusetts as an alternate source. Also check with Westerbeak taunton, Massachusetts for the correct list price. They bought Universal out of bankruptcy a number of years ago
Good luck.
