Hi All,
I just re-conditioned the heat exchanger on my 1999 Catalina MK II. The engine is a Westerbeke M35BC but unfortunately, the original end cap gaskets, though still serviceable, really need to be replaced. Does anyone know where I might find these. They're 3" diameter and for an unknown reason (for me) different colors. They are also molded with chamber separating embossments (see photos).
Let me know, and thanks. :)
I just did that. Visit here

new caps and gasket from 3rd party is available and comes with 3/8" stainless steel screw, I used the original bronz screw. The new gasket does not need the "O" ring.

I use Hansen Marine in Marblehead Ma. They are great
I got one for my heat exchanger here:

The o-ring goes inside. This is important as mine was outside and the cap dezincified because it was not protected by the engine zinc, which is why I needed a new one.
