[C38] Heat Exchanger

Bob 
Do you still have the water heater connected? If so is it connected off of the heat exchanger or in some other manner? 
I ask because there seems to be a correlation between if the water heater is attached and engine temperature. And again how the water heater is configured and engine temperature. Thank you

Just a follow up that Tom asked me for. Went for a sail last Saturday. 
Motored out to Point Loma at 2500 rpm which took about 40 minutes. 
Temperature stayed between 165-175. With the old exchanger it would have 
been close to 200. One suggestion I have when swapping out the exchanger to 
make it easier: Attach all the NEW hoses to the heat exchanger before you 
install it. Leave at least an extra foot on each hose just to make sure 
they will reach as the new exchanger is longer and the distances will not be 
the same as with the old exchanger. That way you can do 4 attachments while 
sitting in the cockpit sipping a beer and then have only two fittings and 
clampings to accomplish squeezed in the lazarette and two on the forward end 
of the engine. Including three trips to San Diego Marine Exchange for hoses 
I spent a total of 5 hours on the project.

I just want to make sure I'm understanding you. Your traveler is forward 
of the hatch opening, correct? That would solve my dodger problem, but 
I'm concerned about the loss of leverage having the sheet so far forward 
on the boom, or the leverage the sail/boom would have on the anchor 
points. You've had no problems? 

Thanks!
