SeaKnots

Hello, I am so happy I have found all of you. We are in desperate need of a heat exchanger for our Formosa diesel engine. We have contacted everyone we can think of and no luck Our sailboat is a Formosa 1972 Ketch , made in Taiwan with the motor made in England. The heat exchanger has seen better days and we even looked into recasting it but because of years of neglect it is beyond repair. We would like to have a new one made using the old one as a pattern. Or find a replacement for it. The boat is in Olympis Washington at the Westbay Marina. Captain Dave is flying out today to ponder on this (over a pint or 2) any help you could give us is greatly appreciated. Happy Sailing. Lynn

Look up Jack Tar on the Latts and Atts bulletin board www.seafaring.com Go to Greg's pub BBS Jack is right there by you and he also has almost a sister ship to yours.
Do you have any pictures of it?
I hope you found what you needed by now, but if not go to www.Sen-dure.com and they can provide it. If you have an older Perkins as I do (1977, 4-108) I'd suggest looking into a larger one than normally supplied if you have the room for it.
