Does any 5411 owner have their cooling system converted to "closed freshwater" cooling? Where did you mount the heat exchanger? What kind of pump did you install to pump raw water through the exchanger? How is it plumbed? It would be nice to have hot water and a cabin heater from the system also! Any Ideas??? I am planning on doing this and it would be easier not to invent the "WHEEL". Torrensen Marine does not know of a conversion kit. Thanks fellow sailors!

5411 conversion

I purchased a 1981 catalina that is equipped with a 5411 engine and closed freshwater cooling system. Not sure whether this was a conversion or installed by the manufacturer. But, I have some photocopy materials that the previous boat owner included in the log book. If you are intersted, please do not hesitate to contact me at 40niner@msn.com.
