That's very impressive! Congrats on getting her running!
I am very new to this and wanted to apologize for my ignorance
How do you perform these tests? Based off what you are saying it sounds like that could be my issue.
The pump I am referring to is my raw saltwater cooling system.
That would make sense that it might not be the lack of a bypass valve but that water is getting clogged up. If I find out that it isn't my lack of a thermostat do you recommend getting a bypass valve either way?
A blockage in the outlet exhaust manifold would make sense since I am getting a strange flow of water. Just so i know this is the exhaust manifold
If so, did you just remove one of the pipes and just clear it out?
If my memory serves me, after the water runs from the image above it meets with the exhaust in this big metal thing in a cockpit locker before it exits the boat
