Good idea! Thanks for the link. This one is under warranty, but I’ll keep that link for future failures.Quote:

And we use the heater very little so why should the pump be running continuously? Any thoughts?
Don't do that. The engine cooling system requires circulation of coolant through the heater loop. Turning the pump off will stop the flow of coolant through the heater loop and will likely cause an engine overheat.Quote:

So ALL the boats have the circulating pump and a loop of heater hose, just in case people want to add a heater? It doesn’t seem that a loop of additional heater hose would add much cooling?Quote:

I am doing the labor as my warranty is parts only at this point. Dealer clarified that boats without the heater have a hose loop as Enginenut stated but don’t have a circulating pump. I’m still not sure how this loop enhances cooling. Looks like I’ll be replacing the circulating pump every 400 hrs. or so.
