Re: Stus-List Hot water heater bypass
One more point. Kind of obvious, but I will mention it. When you winterise, make sure that you either drain all water out of the tank or you blow it out. I can’t drain it into the bilge (the way the bilge is designed on my boat is stupid), so I have to blow it. Btw. It saves about 5-6 gal of AF in the fall and incredible amount of grief (to flush it out) in the spring.

Has anyone actually tried that RV bypass kit? How much water does it pass? Are the ports big enough? I know most systems use only a portion of the coolant but if you're running your entire engine coolant flow through it, it may not pass enough coolant to cool your engine.
