D6 fuel cooler

Is it correct. On the d6 370 hp the fuel cooler is just supported by the two jubilee clips .

yes if no bracket in middle .

thanks paul , i thought so as both are the same only one end came off while underway , all i had to do was to tighten the clip up , rather weird as the clip seems fine.

Make sure it’s not leaking , it rots the lower hose , falls off filLes your engine room in seconds and trashes the lot .

Funny thing happed yesterday on this subject .
A few weeks back myself and Nick surveyed / sea trialed a Botnia with D6 350 , in my report I made it known to buyer one cooler leaking and hose de laminated , deal fell through as hull riddled with he big O , Dutch buyer pulled out .
Fast forward to this week , new buyer , new surveyor , new sea trial.
Guess what , both broker and owner ignore my report , sea trial failed due to hose departing cooler , plus the dreaded O that won’t go away , not even the best fairey can make that go .
Why dont people listen , why don’t sellers put things right after survey .
Why don’t brokers disclose previous surveys to stop wasting buyers money on boats that are not fit fir purpose .
Anyone want to know , pm

There's a theme emerging here. Am I a bit slow to catch on.

Roy is unique in that his sole reason for buying a boat was so he could sit in the marina and polish it on weekends. He even has a mechanic's creeper trolly and mirror system for doing the underside of the engines. And now you think I'm exaggerating.

He can come and polish mine every other weekend if he likes. I can pay £50 a time year.

You're ruining the market with inflated offers like that ?

Sounds like I need to be slimmer than a fender and I need a locker for my trolley.
