This is total nonsense. It is quite common, even likely, that the injection
point will be at or near the waterline. Even if its nominally above, one must
add the result of heeling, and possible overloading.

The distance between the injection (with the elbow that raises the injection up)
on the new Yanmar YM series is 16 inches above the prop shaft. While this may
work out on a newer small, fin keel boat, this will very likely be well below
the waterline on a more tradition full keel design where the engine sits deeper.
And, if you subtract some for heeling and overloading, its actually hard to
imagine a setup (other than very small boat) where the injection point isn't
potentially at the waterline.

BTW, my boat, and my previous boat, has a siphon break. I was on a 43 foot
cruising boat today with a Perkins 4-108 where we determined the injection point
was just about at the waterline.

Once again, jax proves he knows about as much about boats as the Tidy Bowl Man.

oxxy, it is forbidden to have the water injection point below the waterline,
except the rare case when it must be. But that rare case was not the boat
under discussion.

scribbled thusly:

You can backpedal and nitpick that the water injection line is not part of
the
direct path of the exhaust gases, but its pretty clear that everyone
considers
it part of the exhaust system.



You're learning Jeff.
This is where Jocks will claim victory.
He'll be wrong as usual calling it the raw water system or some such
other but hey. that's Jocks.
