    Closed cooling systems

    Im thinking of adding closed cooling system to a boat Im buying. I operate in the salt water 100% of the time.
    Does anyone have experience with these and are they worth the money?
    The engines I want to put them on are the Mercruiser 350 Mags.

    Thanks

    @ Kepp

    With the EconoCool system I still use sea water to cool the manifolds? With the closed water system how do I do flush the manifolds?

    The KEPP ststem would take the water from the heat exchanger and run it thru the exhaust manifolds and out.

    A fully closed system would also run antifreeze thru the manifolds.

    Well I rather be an ass and make him think before some else is an A$$ and takes his money for a simple flush. This is a No-brainer.
