Greetings forum friends.
Can someone tell me at what temperature the salt begins to precipitate out of raw water? Is it better to run the Atomic 4 cooler so this doesn't happen? What temperature is best for running an Atomic 4 on raw water cooling?
A friend runs his raw-water cooled Atomic 4 without a thermostat. He's a real sailor and doesn't motor unless absolutely necessary. I have to run my RWC Atomic 4 most of the time I'm using the sailboat because I am doing a lot of video of whales and sails get in the way. Could I get away with not having a thermostat? Without one my engine runs about 130degrees when water temperature is about 58 degrees.
Thanks for advice.
