Yanmar replacement elbows

[Ben423]

I'm not sure if this violates any rules on this site but I thought I'd pass along this story.

My Yanmar 6LP engine is nearing 1,400 hours so it's time to replace the mixing elbow and dry elbow with new stainless steel ones. HDI in Vancouver, WA sells these parts as a kit. Bought separately they would cost around $900, the kit sells for $730. Hailey, the sales rep at HDI that I worked with, agreed to sell them to Albin owners at an additional 10% off, or $657. She even threw in a nice insulated mug.

I received the parts yesterday and have attached photos. I'll install them next month and report on how the intallation went. I want to thank JBKraft over on the A28 FB page for referring me to HDI. Again, I apologize if this posts violates any AOG rules.

Got a refund on the 2 pieces I returned, HDI Marine is highly recommended.


There is also a thread on these HDI exhaust pieces over at the Albin 28TE Facebook page.
I highly recommended a piece of silicone hose for the mixer.

I installed both elbows and jacket, along with SS bracket 3 seasons ago. Everything fit perfect and no issues. Hardest part was cleaning and prepping the existing surface/flange.

You are welcome. I have to thank those who attended the albin meet up for the advice. I have bay shore marine working on my rig this week and they are installing the HDI parts while there. I didn’t get the discounted price. I’ll have to inquire about that!
