Hello,
I know there are numerous threads about where to install a water heater but I was hoping to get a confirmation for my particular motor.
I have a Mercruiser 383 6,2l 2007 with fresh water cooling.
The service manual tells me this:
I'm fairly certain where I'm supposed to install the return but what about supply? I see a lot of boats using location B but if I'm reading the manual correctly I'm supposed to use A?
Also could anyone confirm if the thread size is 1/2" for the hose adapters? It's a pain getting NPT threaded hose adapters in Sweden since we use a different threading standard here (BSP) and I will have to order these parts from the states.
Also, the hose connections on the water heater (for the coolant) are not plugged. Do I need to rinse it prior to installing it to the engines cooling system?
Regards, Olle from Sweden
