Yanmar 2GM20F mixing elbow

[TeamSpirit]

Has finally developed pin hole leak, does anyone know south coast supplier and have any hints or tips for separating old mixer from SS nut?
Its the high rise verion with a u bend rather than stright tube.

These Yanmar units are a constant source of hassle. I have two Yanmar 3ym30's .... originally fitted with the standard high rise. I had a local stainless steel fabricator make up complete units from the exhaust manifold joint through to the rubber hose from chemically resistant stainless steel. Sorry I don't know the grade. The units were cheaper even that buying just the Yanmar elbows ..... and I doubt if they will ever clog like the originals used to.

I suggest you search this forum for 'yanmar exhaust elbows' ..... it has been discussed a few times!

Thanks TWS, mine with careful maintenance has lasted nine years - thought about construction of replacement high rise out of SS which will avoid the hassle of separation of the parts too ! . Anyone signpost me to any suppliers/ engineers ?

Cellar marine in cornwall? I have a bronze-ish casting hi-rise elbow which must have come from them originally, if that helps

Thanks Blueboatman I'll give them a call

I bought one s/s unit for my 2GM20 from this supplier, half the price of original Yanmar parts and they delivered the parts to me within 1 week.

The OP has a 2GM20F which is indirect cooled and uses a 4 stud elbow. http://www.exhaustelbow.com/ only seems to offer 3 stud elbows for the direct-cooled engines

The good news is I am now in possession of an spanking new exhaust mixing elbow and double threaded SS joint, the old one fell off and was seriously corroded and rusty and holed.
The bad news is the old SS joint is beyond recovery and it was not fitted with any anti seize so is not moving from the exhaust manifold - my solution and now awaiting delivery from at the local car parts factors is a deep impact driver socket and I am going to try some heat and a scaffolding pole / wrench currently soaking in penetrating oil has anyone l Anyone done this before? if so any tips before I loose my knuckles !
