Closed Loop Cooling for 06 Maristar MCX

[Chief]

Anyone know a good discount price for a closed loop cooling system for MCX? Since she is new I want to install to keep motor from rusting internally. I will be using in mostly fresh water, but will also run in brackish.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think the knowledge pool is that shallow.

ORCA. I had one on my 01' ps 190. Worked great.

Then you don't really know us!
Slick and Trick have it right, cause they ain't shallow!

Thanks, I'll check it out. Trick I'll need you to supervise closely to make sure I open all valves when installed.

I sent a message to Orca. I know how much MC wants, but a brother is trying to save a buck. Harley Davidson (HD)= Hundreds of Dollars MasterCraft (MC)= MAD CASH!

I was thinking about doing the same thing, would make winterizing a lot easier.

Orcamarine.com has the system for MCX. $1292.00 does not include shipping. Thanks Slink!

There are two types of closed cooling systems, commonly referred to as half systems or full systems. A half system closed cools the engine only but not the exhaust manifolds. A full system includes the manifolds in the closed cooling system. On your engine, a full system would require new exhaust manifolds. If you have a v-drive engine configuration, installation is not an easy task. We generally install the closed system before the engine gets installed in the boat!

A closed system still needs to be winterized. You have to drain the raw water side of the heat exchanger, the raw water pump and transmission cooler and if it is a half system the manifolds need to be drained also.

If you install a closed system and run in salt or brackish water, the system still needs to be flushed to prevent salt buildup in the trans cooler and raw water side of the heat exchanger. If you install a half system, I also recommend draining the one piece aluminum exhaust manifolds after each use in salt or brackish water.

Engine: Where do you think I'm going to run into the biggest problem when installing. The Maristar has a lot of room in the engine compartment when I remove the dividers. Hell I can lay down on each side of the engine compartments. It is a half system since the the manifolds are one piece and thats all good with me since I am what you would call "analretentive" (spelling?) and always flush religiously when I even come out of freshwater. I use a product after a through flushing called "salt away" to leave in the block and manifolds. Should I still drain the manifolds with salt away filling the manifolds?

Thanks

I have a closed cooling system (factory install) on my 06 MCX. If you would like me to take a picture of anything let me know.
