Here is my pressure release valve setup with a Merc pump and thu-hull pick up and strainer. In the charge cooler, that T with a gauge. Basically just a spring valve that dumps out the side of the boat. The water pressure gauge is about useless there, worked fine when setting it up, but once the hatch cover is installed, ya can't check it. An in dash gauge works the best.

I also run that big block serpentine pump on this diesel. Mounted by a custom bracket someone fab'd out of aluminum. Works great, never an issue, but a real pain in the ass to change impeller each year...

so is the pressure valve the brass portion in the pic?

Yeah, the brass valve with the small hose coming off it.

Cool, thx everyone, learned a lot.
I will run a regulator preferably off of the back of intake for 20 lbs, and then one in line be for the intercooler at 10 lbs.

If you are still looking for the sea water fuel pump setup I have a couple different ones with new bearings and seals.

About to buy new. Bracket 818368T1 with pump (no fuel outlet) pn 807151A22 and the associated pulley. My option is ti buy the bracket on eBay for 180.00 and a pump and pulley from harden marine for 370 for the pump and 175 for the pulley yippe
