PCM Engine Cooling Elbow | 97387

PCM Engine Cooling Elbow | 97387

Maintain leak-free coolant flow through your engines cooling circuit with this OEM-specification elbow fitting for PCM inboard engines. Cooling elbows change the direction of hose runs in the raw water or closed cooling system, and when they crack, corrode, or distort from heat cycling, the result is a coolant leak that can quickly lead to overheating.

Built to PCM specifications, this elbow is matched to the correct angle, bore diameter, and material for its position in the cooling system ensuring a proper hose seal and long service life in the demanding heat and vibration environment of a marine engine compartment.

Best Use Case

Best suited for replacing a cracked, corroded, or leaking cooling elbow during engine cooling system service on PCM inboard engines. Also the right replacement when a hose inspection reveals the elbow barb is damaged or corroded to the point where a new hose clamp wont seal reliably. Commonly replaced during overheating diagnosis when the cooling circuit is being fully inspected, or as preventive maintenance on higher-hour engines where plastic or aluminium elbows are known to degrade.

• Type: Engine cooling system elbow fitting

Parts Desk Insights

Cooling elbow fitment is specific to engine model, cooling system type (raw water vs. closed cooling), and the position in the circuit always confirm using your engine model and serial number before ordering. When replacing an elbow, replace the associated hose clamps and inspect the connected hose for softness, cracking, or swelling at the same time; a degraded hose on a new elbow is a leak waiting to happen. A related cooling system hose, PCM Engine Hose 97310, is also available and may be part of the same circuit.
