Nice. Does the kit not come with an expansion tank? The cobbled-up FWC in my boat didn’t have one and HX just overflowed to the bilge, requiring daily topping-up. Just one of many weird PO tricks.

I too moved the HX to the sail locker. Actually, I installed a water heater outboard of the standpipe and the HX and expansion tank aft of that. It’s easy to open the locker and do a quick visual inspection of coolant level in the translucent exp tank.

Strangely, I seem to go through a (NAPA) pressure cap almost every season. It’s like the cap is more sacrificial than the zinc. Someday I’ll have to sit down and think about that...
