Fresh water upgrade

I have a 1976 Mark 3 I have just bought this fall(cant wait for this winter to be over)and think I should upgrade to fresh water cooling,but dont have the 2 inches in front of the panel under the companionway stair. Is there an old thread with a picture or solution?
thanks
Dana

Re: Fresh water upgrade

I had a fresh-water cooling system on my boat similar to the Moyer units. The front panel of the engine space had been routed away to paper thinness in the way of the belt. In one area, all the wood had been cut away for the pulley on the pump itself. A  wooden "blister" covered this cut-away.

Your other option is the Indigo Electronics cooling kit. It uses a pump that mounts by the alternator and uses the alternator belt path. Access would be foul, but it does mean you're not adding anything to the front (and it means you get to keep your manual starting handle).
