    New method to remove heat exchanger bundle

    Here are so photos of the bundle I removed from a tank today. First, cut down the side of the tank with a cutoff wheel to free the bundle. Next place 2 2x4's in the rear of the bundle and use the whole setup as a pile driver. The slit I made can easily be repaired by an aluminum welder.

    Parts Help

    I am in search of the "Dog bone" that drives the sea water pump on my TAMD 40. It is not listed with the sea water pump, nor the gear cover. It is a small metal piece with rubber ends. I'll look again, but a Part number would be helpful. Glen

    Electrical Question

    :confused: I have dual engines and dual battries connected by a solenoid that connects the two for starting only. I would like to connect the house load to both battries, however, I would like to install diodes to keep the systems seperate. What kind of diode should I use or is there another way?
