Here are a few pics of Kalina's new FWC system with electric circulation pump.
It would have been much easier to spring for the Moyer kit rather than driving all over creation to gather up the parts but unfortunately in my case the Moyer system would not work. Besides having a Catalina 30 with zero room in front of the engine for a PTO pulley, I also have a water heater mounted higher than the engine. Soooo, hello electric coolant pump and header tank.
Here's a drawing of my system
Here's the heat exchanger in place. Note that the hoses are color coded, black for the coolant circuit, red for raw water.

and the electric pump. The clear hose is so I can see the coolant.

The header tank and recovery bottle are located under the V berth adjacent to the water heater

it's normally not visible
