2002 Crownline 215 With the Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B V-belt Marine Engine – Which Closed Cooling System?
Yes please be aware that the Volvo Penta Marine Engines did not come factory equipped with the necessary Marine Exhaust System to allow for coolant to flow through the exhaust. PPT however does offer a direct replacement Volvo Penta Marine Exhaust System that has these additional fitting included to allow for the use of a Full Closed Cooling System….Read More. Unfortunately your particular model year of Volvo engine was equipped with the high mounted alternator which creates an interference mounting issue that prevents the heat exchanger unit from mounting properly. Because of this mounting issue the only option for installing a closed cooling system on this engine will be the standard 1/2 system. See Links Below.

Thank you for your replly. We have a boat CROWNLINE 215 made in 2002. Last year we have changed engine. Engine is Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B V-belt. Block engine is GM 878 and is remanufactured – Y283249. We have changed exhaust manifold code number is HGE 4035 and engine center riser code number is HGE 3784. Please for your information witch full fresh water coooling kit would be suitable with this engine. I would like full fresh water cooling kit and not just half system cooling kit if is it possible. If there is full fresh water cooling kit please send me the specification about this kit and price.
In those files you have our engine before changing block, center risser and exhaust manifold
