I'm surprised to hear of this failure at all, say nothing of on such a new
boat. I'd suspect that this engine has been overheated at some point in order
for this many O-rings to fail. Any info on the number of hours on this engine?

The problems with the engine were just what we
expected, o-rings in the transmission cooler had
failed, and another one on the fitting between
the coolant reservoir and exhaust manifold.
Unfortunately, this later one required the
removal of the coolant reservoir and exhaust
manifold in order to replace it. The parts
arrived from the US in record time by FedEx, and
with the help of mechanic Pascal we soon had
things up and running.
