Re: Best water heating option on cat with outboard?
I will read the abyc (i live in EU though) but anyways, reading around, looks like the rubber hose is very commonly used with no problems at all even after many years......seems the way to go ;)

Re: Best water heating option on cat with outboard?
I will dig a bit more on this, but from what i've been reading, the rubber hose should be used only for short bits and eventually as completition of the metal piping.
Will check more.
