I am working on connecting the heat exchanger portion of my water heater to my 1989 5.7L Mercruiser. The previous owner disconnected and closed the loop, as seen in the attached photo.
This configuration is NOT what the Merc manual (15) recommends. I wonder if anyone sees a problem with the Supply coming off the top of pump as it is now? Would this connection affect the tempeture of the water going to the heat exchanger in the water heater?
My thermostat housing currently has sensors in both sides but I will reconfigure if there is reason to do so.
I appreciate your thoughts.
