Question 1 is whether your engine is raw water cooled or fresh water cooled. Raw water cooling means water from outside the boat is clumped through the engine block for cooling, then mixed with the exhaust to cool that, then expelled back into the lake. If your engine is raw water cooled, the th

Burt - I have a high tolerance to pain. That's why I own a boat. Bottom line is I can put my hand on the exhaust riser and leave it there indefinitely, and I adjust the water until I think it's feeling hot. Wal Burt Stratton wrote: I am not sure where you got that about being able to stand

Based on what I've read so far, I wouldn't do it. Mainly because if you have to ask, you don't know your exhaust system well enough to mess with it. However, the idea has some merit in a limited sense. For example, on my boat I have an anti-siphon loop between the heat exchanger and the e

My raw water cooled 3QM30 runs at 111 F.  I hate running a diesel that cold, but that is what the manual calls out as the design temperature. I also have a very small raw water intake line, so pulling any cooling water away from the exhaust system would most likely damage the system.   Pat '79

If I'm understanding you correctly, you basically want to install a deck wash pump and somehow get hot water from it. Unless you install an on-demand heater, I don't think what you're contemplating will work. It sounds like you are talking about using the raw water after it has gone through the eng

If you have a raw water cooled engine, I can see that working, except the thermostat should hold the temperature to around 160 F. However, you mention a circulating pump and a heat exchanger so I’m not sure whether you have a raw water cooled engine, or a closed cooling system which circulates
