Coolant water heater fittings
Permalink  

Hi,

 We are getting ready to install the water heater engine coolant loop from our Beta 38 hp to our boat hot water heater.

Because we have dual alternators Beta moved the oil sump pump over to the port side of the motor. This is right where the engine coolant to or from the hot water heater fitting goes.

Can one still be installed here and is this the coolant out to heater fitting?

Chip

Hello Chip,

This will be the return water heater fitting. It installs in the underside of the heat exchanger at the aft end.

Your last photo just shows the plug that is removed to allow a 90 deg elbow and a 5/8" hose adaptor to be installed.

If you can first turn in the 90 degree fitting you will then be able to turn in the hose adaptor which typically points aft.

You have custom mounts that obstruct this area more than is normal. The oil pump is less of an obstruction.

It is hard to judge from your photos but I think you will just have room to install the fitting as shown. 

Best regards,

Farron
