Not as bad as we thought.
But on pins and needles while we waited for Keys Disease to sort itself out with the guy who was to look at our generator.
Finally, our hero and boat guru extradonaire, Boat George tackled the problem himself. And since he has some serious mad skills---fixed our generator.
There really is not enough money in the world to have this guy in our corner.
The heat exchanger header was leaking and the bolts stripped. Previous asshat owner used some sort of silicone to try to seal it and it did not work. So as it gave out it started leaking saltwater, thus corroding crap until we tested it and voila. Alarms go off and genset shuts down.
Below are the before and after pictures of what it looked like.

| Reinstalled on the generator. The threads for bolting it back on also had to be fixed since they were stripped. |
And speaking of stripped threads, we had to have the ones on our water tank fixed so that we could properly install the new tank indicator on the one tank. Got tired of it saying full and then run out of water in the middle of our shower.
We don't know what to do about dear old Zeus. The marina didn't want it sitting in front of the boat so they placed it in the barn for us.
