Destroying our #Cummins / #Onan Generator Cooling System, Melting our #Vetus Waterlock and Hoses

However, after forgetting to close the sea water shutoff valve I completed melted the raw water cooling system on our generator. In this maintenance blog I strip down and completely rebuild the cooling system replacing the waterlock / muffler, impeller, exhaust and cooling water hoses. If you're a professional, expert or even an old salty sea dog with some good advice on how to repair a Onan / Cummins marine generator.. or even how to fix a Onan / Cummins marine diesel powered engine, then please leave any constructive criticism, insight and advice in the comments below the videos.
