can the water line for this seal be "T"ed in on the water line between the strainer and oil cooler? Or does it need to be after the circulation pump. Thing are a little crowded up there and it would be alot easier to plumb it in before the RWP. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5792&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 |

Justin, Think about this a second. If you "T'd" on the suction side of the RWP, it would suck water and not deliver water to the seal, correct? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I wasnt sure of the flow of the water from the seal. I thought maybe it took water from outside the boat and flowed from the seal to the water lines in the boat. So you are saying that wouldnt work/it doesnt work that way. Its just with the alternator on the port side and the PP on the starboard things are a little crowded. Port is the longer run of hose so I guess Ill try and get it in there. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5792&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 |

ahh, there is a little drain plug in the bottom of that correct? I think I have a little elbow fitting that would fit in there, maybe. Still thats before the circulating pump, would that be an issue? The claim they dont actually need cooling. trying to get motivated to tie up all the loose ends before I send the boat up to FFM. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5792&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 |

The circulating pump does just as it's name suggests - circulates. It's the RWP that provides the water/pressure for the cooling. The water going to a dripless seal is really not for cooling. It's more for lubrication. The dripless is a modified commercially available mechanical carbon and ceramic faced seal. They need water between these faces. They also need to stay realatively clean and the reason you don't want to suck water backwards out of the lake. Any junk from the lake and it may get caught between these sealing surfaces. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
