Just an FYI:
After starting my engine for the first time this year I heard a rattling
sound and found that one of the 2 metal strap brackets that holds the heat
exchanger on the engine was broken loose. It cracked at the location of the
bolt. A new bracket cost $10 + S&H. The 4 hose connections and 2nd bracket
would surely keep the heat exchanger in place until you got back to shore if
a bracket broke while you were out.
