Kind of like a keel cooler, but inside. The advantage over cooling with raw seawater is that you don't get corrosion inside your engine, both from the seawater and from the galvanic action it creates between the dissimilar metals in the engine. Of course, it's slightly more complicated. Why bother with all that complication. Just go on E-Bay and search for "Heat Exchanger" and you will find a plethora of all sizes and shapes. Then add a raw water pump on a bracket, some plumbing and replace the radiator with the heat exchanger. |
