>The mechanic insists that the heat exchanger is the only place where
intrusion could occur.

Another place that coolant could be "overfilled" by a transfer leak is
the boat's hot water heater if it is heated by a coolant loop from the
engine.  Whether the excess liquid would come out of the heater's
pressure-relief valve or the engine's coolant overflow system is
something I don't know.
