Title: W-40 Heat Exchanger source?
Post by: jankowskiben on June 05, 2022, 09:46:02 PM
In need of a new heat exchanger for the W-40.  Part #14129.  Tried to order directly from Westerbeke, but 6-8 month wait time. Gulp.

Any recommendations for alternatives? Any owners happen to have one laying around?  Glad to pay a fair price. 

Thanks,
Ben (and Kate)

There is a good chance that a good commercial HVAC outfit could rebuild it or have it rebuilt.  How bad (rotted) is it?

You can try these folks for a replacement.

I bought a replacement heat exchanger from them for my Universal 5444.

Sen-Dure is another option, I had looked at them years ago, but I was able to get a repair at a radiator shop.

Our first stop was a reputable radiator shop. Unit deemed beyond repair, unfortunately. A former owner attempted a helicoil at the zinc - too many different metals together resulted in aggressive corrosion.

Ordered an aftermarket replacement from "Mr Cool".  Highly impressed with the quality, and speedy delivery.  Engine runs a few degrees cooler than ever, especially at idle  A good resource for owners in the same situation:  https://www.mrcool.us/14129-westerbeke-heat-exchanger.html
