Hi Dave
I heat water with a separate Espar heater, used for hot water and for
cabin heat.

Graham,
Thanks. I got a water heater with stainless steel heating tubes for
that very reason and frankly if the water heater last 3 or 4 seasons
that will be fine. Is yours plumbed that way?

Hi Dave
It should work, but another down side is that the salt water will
corrode the heat exchanger coils - they aren't designed for salt
water. Your hot water tank might not last too long.

Does anyone on the list have a raw water cooled Yanmar 3GM hooked
up to a water heater?
I realize that the raw water cooled engine runs cooler than then
one with a heat exchanger but I can live with warm and not hot
water. However, I was told by a mechanic that this could harm the
water pump but since it's simply a rubber impeller turning on a
shaft I don't see happening. He also suggested that the increased
length/back pressure will lesson the flow through the system.
So, I'm curious to see if hooking the water heater to the 3GM
cooling system will harm the engine.
