Volvo MD11C Fresh water cooling

Post by Dennis Ward »

I have a CD33 with a new rebuilt Volvo MD11C with freash water cooling. The hot water tank heat exchanger hoses were not reinstalled to the engine. Volvo seems reluctant to provide info on this system. Engine does not have any extra hose connections and has been repainted so you can not tell where they might have been. Any ideas???

Dennis,

My 33' Hull #40 has a heat exchanger located in the wet well next to the engine, the hoses come in and out in the normal fashion and the hoses for the hot water heater exit from the heat exchanger.

Hope this helps, email me directly if I can be of further help. Funny I just (today) got the bill for rebuilding my MD11C $2500 smackers!!!!

Sea U,
mike
