Hello,


I recently purchased a 1992 Ebbtide 190XY with a Yamaha V6 4.3 litre Inboard and it has a small leak. Can anyone confirm that the leak is coming from the oil cooler assembly? Can the leak be repaired or should the part be replaced? Seems like the parts are hard to come by since these were produced for a short time. I uploaded a video to Google Drive - Please see the link I have copied.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Ayuh,.... I believe the joint ya see right where the droplets are is a sweat joint,...

If ya pull the cooler off, you can probably resweat it,....

If this thing Runs, the Best thing you can do is Sell it, while it is still runnin',....
Odds are, that cooler can't be replaced,.... like many other parts on that driveline,...

Buy yerself a boat with Mercruiser, or volvo power, 'n based on a Chevy motor,....
Otherwise, yer settin' yerself up for some serious frustration,...
 
Thanks for the response Bondo! I will yank it off and get it soldered. I'm getting ready to store it now and have to deal with some trailer issues before I get rid of it.

Thanks again!

Blake
