I have a 10 year old Kohler generator that was purchased as part of our boat purchase last year. I have no evidence that the coolant was ever replaced; so I am assuming the coolant and most systems need the periodic maintenance unless the records show otherwise.
I have drained the coolant from the block, heat exchanger and reservoir.
The boat is currently on the hard with pink antifreeze in the lines.
I want to replace the coolant and replace the anode.
Does anyone have a recommendation as to how to do this or the order of?
In the owners manual under replacing the anode, it states to drain the coolant from the heat exchanger. Why would the anode be exposed to the coolant and not the raw water that provides the coolant for the heat exchanger?
Any guidance is appreciated.
