that was a very good write up and I do agree/understand what your saying.


One thing that I am still having trouble understanding is how boat engines ever get hot enough to run at an efficient heat level. (reaching almost complete combustion)

I will reference again autos: I know that people think they can take the thermostat out and their car "runs better." As some of us better educated individuals know this is NOT the case.

So my question: Are boat engines simply designed to carry less heat away from the jackets because they are running cooler (intake temp) water through the engine. ?
