Default where to tap into Hot water YANMAR 18HP?

correct you are, thanks again.
the only confusion, my fault, is the heater type....i want an air heater
like an auxilliary car heater. I have one from a van with it's own fan.
nice for the fall....and any other time in Canada.

Original post

I have an 18HP yanmar 2cyl and would like to put in an aux heater from
the
internal cooling system (glycol). There are many plugs, thermhousing,
side
of block etc... so i am unsure where to tie in for a send return that
won't affect the cooling of the motor. any thoughts?

Taking his post at face value with the reference to the "internal
cooling system (glycol)" I understood him to mean a Yanmar 2GM20 F
and answered accordingly and specifically..

I am referencing the Official Yanmar Service Manual for the 2gm20f.

One connection is a plug on the fresh water pump on the hose side that
leads from the heat exchanger. The other is a plug on the side of the
thermostat housing that leads to the heat exchanger. They are both
3/8" npt fittings.
