This is good to know. When I put the Nanni (Kubota) in mine, I thought they were joking with the tiny little elbows I assumed were for water tank heating, but I could see no other alternative, so I used them, probably 3/8 but maybe even smaller, I don't remember now. But it heats my water up lickety split, it seems now this is the way it was intended.
Bill Coleman C&C 39 <<The most important was the hose size. I originally thought that I should use a nice big hose to avoid creating a pressure problem. I was thinking that a big hose would have less resistance and would allow maximum coolant flow. So I ran 3/4" hose. I thought I was being smart, because after moving the water heater amidships it was a long hose run that went under the cabin sole. Well, the engine overheated every time I tested it. So I talked with a trusted mechanic who said "Didn't I tell you to use 3/8" hose when we talked about this last year? I even told you where to get it locally! The water (coolant) pump doesn't generate a lot of pressure.">> Wal _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]
