================================

You might want to ask the question on the "71-series" forum at:

http:www.boatdiesel.com

There are a lot of Detroit Diesel experts on there.

Stephen,
There are several and the locations depend on the cooling system used. If it
is a heat exchanger or keel cooler, the fresh water magnesiums are in the
expansion tank casting on either side. On heat exchanger systems, the
sal****er Zincs are in the tank to element adapter castings on both sides
where the salt water enters and leaves the exchanger. These will appear to
be 1/2" pipe plugs.
