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.
A diesel engine running at 130-140 deg F is going to have problems.
Diesels should run around 180 deg F to avoid problems associated with
unburned fuel and condensed combustion byproducts.
I suggest you consult with diesel professionals about this issue.
