Today i changed my zincs in my QSB 6.7 and they were in surprisingly good shape. The bad news was the forward zinc in the charge air cooler came un threaded when i removed the brass plug leaving the zinc in the forward cap.

I have read some recommendations to flush the main engine with dock water after use.I see some water connections that utilize the sea strainer but mine in not easily reached so i was thinking of adding a T and running a hose to the stern to make the flush easy.

I have two of these and one has historically been a little fickle about running. After a few months of sitting we went to the boat check on things and the one heater didnt want to fire. The fist thing i checked was if it was getting fuel which it wasnt so i went to the fuel/dosing pump and...
