My recently purchased MoBo has a largish upright foam covered hotwater tank with an immersion heater powered by shorepower.Boat has all the normal pumps and pressure vessels.The engine has the required two fittings(connected by loop of hose) for water heating via the indirect engine cooling system.
The boat was fitted out by the first owner and not by a boat builder and the engine has curiously not been connected to heat water.
Problem is,my upright foam covered hot tank looks suspiciously like the sort of thing you have at home,if a tad smaller ........ if we plumb the thing into the engine will it burst or something dramatic.
Happy to buy a pukker calorifier,but do not want to eject existing tank if it is the proper bit of equipment.
All comments welcome.
