Greetings,
In December of 2015, I had 985 hours on my Yanmar 370HP and brought it to a very reputable (Yanmar authorized) marina (Haven Harbour) in MD. I've attached the completed work order below. Cost about $3300. I didn't see anything in there about the heat exchangers and was told they ran Rydlyme through the system. I wasn't thrilled with the answer, but who am I to challenge an authorized dealer?
Fast forward to December of 2016 (that is NOW, in case you are not paying attention)... I have moved to VA and have had a highly recommended local mechanic replace my mixing elbow (which the previous mechanic had pointed out was in need of replacing). So the new mechanic says that it doesn't look like the heat exchangers have been touched. I explained what was done last year. He tells me they should really be removed, cleaned, inspected, etc. His estimate for $3400 is below. Yikes. Thoughts??
