As my boat is apart I have the opportunity to spend more money . . :rlol:
This is a 1969 Corsican SBF 302 with a Bravo, just in case you forgot or didn't already know :)
So I want to add a closed loop coooling system, but have several goals.
a. Retain all H&M parts, except the Jabsco pump which is mounted on flimsy brackets. This will be replaced with:http://www.cpperformance.com/products/Cooling_System/crankshaft-pumps.htm
Or... Do I retain the Jabsco as H&M built it for originality??
b. Hide all heat exchangers.
c. Keep the look as "original" as possible.
So my thought was to use an electric water pump for circulation.

But this pump would replace the H&M T fitting at the block inlet . . so my thoughts were to use either of these;

http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=141540&prmenbr=361
I like the later as it's construction might be more marine compatible. Running an electric pump for cooling on a boat . . what are the thoughts?? Will it take the pounding and be reliable?
I'll have more questions coming. :eek!: as I debate removing the stock PS set up from the Bravo , move to external PS, and return the H&M logs to their original orientation??
Time for a :beer:
