Dear List again,
First thanks to all who responded to my questions about extracting a bolt. I
m happy to say we did finally get the bolt out, but it was a hard extract
all the way. Vice grips and PB blaster!
On other problems, while putting the heat exchanger back on, fittings on
both ends of a hose that provides water to the propeller shaft, just fell
apart. The one at the stuffing box was a bit problematic as it is below the
waterline and water was gushing in!
I am still trying to learn these systems and do not quite understand this
one. QUESTION: What is the purpose of sending (hot) water into the housing
for the propeller shaft? Or, does the water come in from the propeller
shaft?
The configuration is thus: Raw water input to heat exchanger, to
transmission cooler to a T to the exhaust manifold. Off the T just
described, a short hose down to the propeller shaft. What is the purpose of
sending water to the propeller shaft? Can one do without this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kevin
