Is there an access issue? What kind of boat? A 100% cooling system R&R should include:
- replace coolant
- remove and clean engine and transmission HXers
- new RW pump impeller
- open up and check exhaust elbow area
- remove and clean after cooler
- hoses checked and or replaced

Costs vary. With your work list in hand arrange an appointment and personally go talk with several notable yards or good shops in your area. Likely a TF member can recommend a good mechanic in the Tacoma area to establish a strong working rapport with. Our BC mechanic has been with us for 15 years. Honest, quick and efficient is the guy you're looking for.

Our after coolers alone were just removed and cleaned with labor on each one at 8 hours and the radiator shop costing around $350.
