Hi everyone,
I am new to boating and to this forum.
As i am planned to install a new engine (MarinePower 5,7V) i have a question about the cooling system.
The engine will be used in seawater and is equipped with a closed cooling system (glycol).
The seawater coming out from the heat exchanger goes into the risers (correct me if i am wrong) and into
the exhaust and leaves the exhaust together with the exhaust gases.
As a motorbike (not a boat) mechanic it doesnt make any sense to me to mix the hot salt water with the exhaust gas
and let it run true the exhaust pipe. '(maybe only to cool down the exhaust pipe a bit)
I am thinking to redirect the water coming out from the heat exchanger to a plug in the hull instead of into the exhaust.
What are the pro's and con's for this?
