Aren’t water strainers commonly positioned above the waterline near the
centerline of the boat? I know mine is. That should keep any raw water from
entering the diesel. The T fitting would be a non-issue.

Hi Chuck,
I have seen this “tee” arrangement on many boats, but I was advised that it is
an easy way to flood the engine with water. If your water pump does not stop
the water flow (and it does not have to), you can easily overflow the muffler
and the mixing elbow and fill the cylinder(s) with
FWIW, I use a little "hose rig" that makes winterizing the engine very easy and
is a great thing to keep on any boat. It consists of a short 4 ft stiff hose
(match your engine's intake gose) with shutoff ball valve and a barb fitting.
Replace the ell at your engine intake thruhull with a threade
