Hey Dwight, all systems are a go. Not exactly sure what the issue was to be
honest, things just seemed to cure them self later the next day. I wish the
same thing would happen to my Motorcycle! I am going to assume at this point
that it was a stuck thermostat like a few posters had mentioned. I was going to
start pulling things apart once I had it back at the Squadron, but decided to
let sleeping dogs lie so to speak. Thanks again to everyone for their help and
advice, it was greatly appreciated.

Subject: hot water on the boat
Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2012 17:21:59 -0300
Hi Greg
Back in August when you were in Mahone Bay you reported a problem with getting
domestic hot water on your boat.
I don’t recall the outcome or how you remedied the problem if you did but;
Now I am having similar issues with my boat where the domestic hot water is
supposed to get heated by the coolant from my Universal M4-30 diesel engine.
I am wondering what you found out and also how your hot water tank is plumbed
to get engine coolant flowing through it. My hot water tank is slightly higher
than the engine and today when I disconnected the coolant lines from the engine
to it no coolant exited either line with the engine running hard in reverse at
2000rpm on the mooring, but the engine did not overheat so I think the supply
and discharge lines from the engines salt water heat exchanger have coolant
flowing through them. The hot water tank on my boat seems to be plumbed in
parallel with the heat exchanger and therefore seems like it would act as a
heat exchanger until the water got hot. I am wondering about a possible
airlock and also considering this may have something to do with having the tank
installed above the engine. Can you offer any help?
Thanks
