water pump diverter

[baycruiser]

This year I bought a 1995 Donzi 18 classic. When the previous owner bought it his mechanic replaced the water pump with a diverter. Nothing more than a pipe connecting between left and right port with a braided line to the thermostat housing. I've ran this thing wide open all summer and the needle on the gauge hardly moves. Runs great. Has anyone used this or seen it?

Re: water pump diverter

suggest you state the type motor, and post in the inboard/outboard forum.
