Mixing elbow status and alloy

[Blair Clark]

Hi there,

Does anyone know if this an original, or replacement mixing elbow and what alloy it may be?

Thank you,

Blair

Hi Blair-  What engine?  On my Universal M4-30 here is what my mixing elbow looked like.  I thought it might be plugged but it turned out to be fine internally.  Dave

Sorry I should have included that critical piece of info…,it is a yanmar 3GM30F installed in a 1990 34 +

Thank you very much for replying.

Hi Blair, 

Itlooks like a standard steel Yanmar unit that's been replaced moderately recently. You need to take it off and look inside to see the state of affairs.

The stainless steel options are pointless as it gets clogged long before it rusts out.  If it's clogged just replace with the same and go sailing!

Thank you for the feedback Francois. Makes sense:
