Cool!

I'm guessing you're not getting enough of this kind of
thing
at work? You're putting it to a hydro test too, right?

Probably won't do a hydro, but, I think I will replace the
existing 125
psi relief valve with 50 psi or less. I'm just not
thrilled with the
widow-maker under my bunk. The tank may be safe at 125#,
I'm just
saying. . .

Yours heats from the engine also, right? A word of caution,
the water gets VERY hot. At least mine does, there's no temp
control.

While I have it apart, might as well take care of that problem. Thanks

You don't heat off the batteries, do you? I figure the temp
needs to get high off the engine because once you shut down
it needs to stay hot on it's own for a while. Mine stays
warm overnight, at least.

Oopsie in the drawing, instead of 2 tees, I'll use a 3-way bypass valve
so 100% of the flow can be diverted around the tank coil. I'll post
pics and details if anyone is interested.

Scout,

A Sea Story:---- I had my Heater out and stored in the Pilothouse, to
make room for the Shaft removal, to replace the "Thrust Bearing. I'd
like to make the suggestion that you look at your engine/shaft coupling
before you add to much to that heater.

My heater was in the Port Side Cockpit Looker; forward against the cabin
bulkhead. I had a 29 ft boat, but for a man to disconnect that coupling,
next was necessary for a man to lay down on the floor of the cockpit to
reach down to disconnect that coupling. Couldn't be done with the Heater
in place.

Look it over before your start modification.

Good luck!! By the way; I tied off the engine's cooling water to the
heater for my "Red Dot" heater which really was a blessing.

Be sure you have a galvanic isolator, or isolation transformer
or that aluminum tank won't last.

What's with all the html?

I'll clean it up and repipe it with a bypass and better service access (in March).
