OK since ive been poking around, fixing little things on the new powerplant and getting the boat together....when i fire it up on the hose i seem to be getting more water exiting the exhaust on passenger side by like 50% is a rough estimate
bigblock ford with logs
water routed in from pump, goes up front to a "t" enters exhaust log to "pre heat / cool "......
exits log to waterpump plate , goes through motor and exits thermostat housing......
from housing goes to log risers and exits exhaust tips @ transom..
this is how ive always had it since i got the boat....
any imput? ;)

Kinked line somewhere? Any corrosion build up in the fittings restricting flow? Gotta be a restriction somewhere.

I had this on the southwind. Never figured it out....didnt lose sleep over it because it doesnt really matter how much is coming out each side, its the total amount you're worried about. Too much total water coming out means too much water pressure coming in....which can result to a blown head gasket.

water takes the path of least resistance... one hose could be 2" longer than the other and water goes the other way... as long as theres water exiting both its all good.
