[Public-List] Tees in the raw water intake (was Seacocks and gate valves.)

[Hugh McCormack]

Another thought on the Tee in the raw water intake.  If your boat is (or originally was) powered by a GrayMarine SeaScout then the Tee is intended to recycle water through the cooling system until the engine comes up to temperature.  After that the thermostat opens and closes as necessary to maintain engine temperature.  If your boat has been repowered from a GrayMarine engine then the Tee may have been retained by someone who didn't understand its function.

 

Cheers,

 

Hugh
