Raw water cooling conversion

[John Tonks]

Can a 1989 volvo 2003 28hp engine be converted to fresh water with a kit and does it have to be the same brand and what sort of cost is it likely to be. Any help would be appreciated.

Bassed on the components on my old Greymarine 4-112 retrofit, (heat exchanger, thermostate and housing with bypass valve, circulation pump, hoses and brakets) your looking at 1,000-1,500 clams. Less if you're handy and can fabricate brackets and such. If you can find a centrifugal pump for circulation you won't need the bypass valve which will simplify things nicely.

Thanks for that
