I keep looking at it also but wife keeps saying no since I just bought my Open bow family boat 2 weeks ago

One of my favorite sayings is "Everything is difficult until it is easy."  Some things take a lifetime to master.  Regardless, kudos for putting forth the effort and succeeding.

I'm going be cautious about sharing too many of my thoughts regarding cooling, as it tends to be a controversial topic around these parts.

Bassett has this http://www.bassettracing.com/faq1.htm to say about water lines.

In another thread, Timm posted:

The setup in my boat utilized a mechanical fuel injection jet to restrict flow to the spiders in this same manner.

If you are using the typical -3 to 1/8NPT JIC fittings http://www.mcmaster.com/#50635k371/=xram4m, they have a .125 minimum inside diameter (ID), which does not provide much, if any, restriction after the .13 ID tube the spyders are constructed from.

I think too much flow at too low a pressure will cause water to stream out of nozzles rather than atomizing to cool the hot exhaust gases.  The high volume of water streaming does not evaporate but pools in the bottom of the header primary tubes where the exhaust pressure blows it out of the weap holes.

There is much written about this topic here.  Before I go telling you you to redesign your system, I suggest you read up on the topic and then evaluate exactly what you have.  Then you can make an educated decision on where to go from there.  Remember that there is always help here.

Good luck,

Joe

Im from Hanford. Just bought my 79 Eliminator this winter. Have been to Kaweah quite a few times this year. The lake is low but it has plenty of water to cruise.

sad day for me .my boat is sold.
