Sorry Shawn. I agree the Vetus waterlift functions as intended as long as the cooling system is functioning properly but on the other hand it quickly turns into a melted POS when things go wrong. That yours has served you well is a testament to the quality of your engine maintenance.

rkohl, by any chance is your leaky Catalina waterlift the large square version? Does it leak around the base seam (that's where they usually fail)? Consider that your Catalina waterlift has already failed once, do you really want to put another one in? Good to see you're thinking of other options.
