On the dripless web site they say that cooling system is only for high

Let me tell you about our "Lionheart" trip to Florida. Cap'n decided to
change out the old, reliable, grease injector bearing the greenies worry
will just trash the ocean. (More grease comes out of a bassboat trailer's
wheels every time he launches.) So, being a good, legal guy, he told the
yard to change it out to a dripless when it was in the yard just before the
Florida Floozy Cruise to Key West.

If you get the water injection model, PUT IN A VALVE TO KEEP IT FROM
BACKING UP INTO THE ENGINE....and EVERY time any mechanic is in the engine
room...MAKE SURE THE IDIOT DOESN'T TURN THE VALVE BACK TO OPEN....ours did.

Water injection is NOT necessary on sailboats and trawlers.....

Quite a story! Thanks! I'll put on a valve or something if I do hook it up.

But what's the deal? What kind of a system is it that they would design
it that way? Why isn't this system crapping out engines all over the
country?
