Marvelous presentation of this often misunderstood subject. You cleared-up some of my misconceptions. Thanks.
New subscriber and I want to say you are now one of my favorite channels as I’m a newer captain coming from large center consoles to med size diesel vessels! Keep up the great videos! Thank you!
Excellent presentation very informative. Thanks
great video thanks
Could you please talk about winterizing the water muffler. i presume there is a drain that needs to be emptied.
Can I use the wet exhaust hose for radiator hose? Thanks
Good morning . I have a Waterjet powerboat 21 feet Aluminium that I am building . To be powered by a Mercruiser 3.0 TDi . Exhaust riser outlet is 102mm. I have a new Vetus DEMPMP 90mm Inlet x 90mm Outlet, which I was going to run underfloor. I was going to run this direct to the transom with minimal down angle to the transom and fit a Vetus 90mm TRCVP with integral Non-Return Valve. I have very limited room. From the engine Riser to the Transom is 835mm, with the exhaust needing to be underfloor for 60cm directly from the engine riser. The Riser is significantly higher than the waterline, approximately 60cm to top of the riser elbow bend. Can you please advise if this is suitable. The transom outlet would be underwater with the muffler draining to the transom. **??Or should it be different in this case??** Your help would be much appreciated.
Goodday Terry, sounds like an exiting boat!
Since the waterline of these boats changes a lot when you change speed I find it difficult to give a 100% answer. If I look at the numbers I don't expect a problem, especially not at speed. When you drastically slow down by lowering the bucket, which is part of the fun of a jetboat, some of that water will still be travelling forward, towards the engine.
You have a nice measurement from waterline to top of exhaust riser. I like to measure to the lowest point, as that is the "protecting height". Any water that gets higher than that will move towards your engine. With a 102 mm exhaust it will be close to 50 cm, which is about as much as you can get in these boats.
At low speeds the back tends to sink a bit, further lowering the exit underwater. Probably not an issue, but the engine won't run very smooth with that backpressure.
We don't have a lot of those jetboats here in Europe, so I would advise you to contact builders with similar boats.

Great video
Why is the system designed as such to create all these problems in the first place?
Why not dump cooling seperate to exhaust??? Crazyness.
i never hear of "Glow Plugs" being used in marine deisel engines. I have contacted a few narrowboat owners in England and they don't seem to be knowledgable of these plugs. In Canada they appear on all deisel engines due to our winters. Am I missing something or do these plugs just don't exist in marine engines?
Hi Markrant1...... glow plugs all over the place, particularly automotive, in New Zealand.... which can get seriously below freezing in the southern areas. ON You tube, a lot of the English narrow boat owners have other tricks, like the spray of ether up the air intake, actually lighting a fire in the air intake (a rag with diesel) to increase compression.... we are talking about a little old fashioned, and possibly risky, here.
I am sure modern enough marine diesels would have glow plugs for those very cold situations. OR alternative methods for a very cold start, in their operation manual.
Thank you Peter for your reply@@colonelfustercluck486
Never activate your glow plugs if using ether to start a diesel

Vetus/Maxwell making the rest of the marine providers look like amateurs.
The dutch don't muck around
