Defeats part of your goal. Fresh water cooled, small diesels run at about
180 degrees F. You indicate that yours runs at 130 to 140 degrees F. Keep it
that way and you will have less heat buildup in your boat. Besides, you
already have suffered some internal corrosion.
If you must, contact Sendure in Florida. They are the OEM for many
manufacturer's fresh water cooling systems. After they prescribe what you
need, you can buy it from Defender or some other discount house. Either
Sendure or Yanmar will have the circulating pump and, normally, it is engine
gear driven.
Remember, you started out to have a comfortable boat at anchor andf in the
slip - preferably for Summer 2004.
