Hot water Heat Xchanger

[SS MAYFLOAT]

I have read several posts in other forums on this topic. Some suggest that to hook up the heat xchanger on your hot water heater to run one line to the water pump and the other to the block. With it being a chevy motor, shouldn't both lines be hooked to the engines water pump? Wouldn't his prevent cold spots within the block/heads? After all, this is the way the heater in your car works doesn't it?<br /><br />Gee whiz, this weather stinks, got to use my snow plow twice this year. 1 time before winter, and 1 time since winter is over. So I can say I didn't use my plow at all this winter! I'll keep it ready, after all it just might snow this summer! I figure that up north here, a warm winter will equal a cool summer, that is why I'm going to install a heater to run off the engine. Thanks ... I will be updating you about my fishing buddy in Nothing to do with boats.

SS, usually on chev engines in boats the hot water is taken off a fitting in the intake manifold next to the thermostat...the return line is usually 'T'ed into the large hose entering the circ pump on the front of the motor...
