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.

It seems upgrading to 3" is the right path.

I found this one:

Now to figure out the fittings/brackets/hoses.....

Upgrade to the 3 inch will stop overheating issues, uses all the same stuff. It is a bit of a pain to do so replace everything. There is a manufacturing outfit on long island, Might have been lenco they make to order very fast.

Hello All
The boatyard I was going to use is impacted and "cannot find" a heat exchanger. So I spent time looking for one and now the questions:
1) Stay with the "normal" 2" or upgrade to 3" ?
2) If upgrade, is it a big deal with respect to fittings/hoses/brackets?
3)Where to buy in 2021?
4)Any sage advice?

Thanks for your time!
