Keelcooler in response to a picture of my engine room from another thread asked that I post the details of the hot section design. I inhereted it from the PO who had it custom built by a reputable boat yard Richmond Boat Works (now KKMI) of stainless steel (see picture below). The design is a custom fit for the Pearson Triton engine room (see picture below). The hot section bends from the manifold flange back toward the cabin and then rises up about 12 inches after clearing the bulkhead under the bridge deck. The cooling water is then injected into the hot section on the way down. I recently moved the waterlift muffler to under the port cockpit to make room for the new fuel tank (see picture). This raised the static height of the waterlift muffler a few inches. It's good thing that the rise in the hot section is sufficient to allow 12" of height difference between the waterlift muffler and the highest point of the hot section. I am very pleased with the quality and design of the hot section.
