Mudball,
Yes, that is the one. What are you using now? I have the same set up, but the hose Im using now kind of has a tight turn just before the power steering cooler. It also gets real close to the alternator belt also.

I know what you mean, Vandeano.
Thar ain't much room for the hose!
===
Fortunately, I still had a 7.4mpi (my old motor) to scavenge from!
I used a hose that had some good bends to fit this, and whacked it up to fit.
I am pretty sure it was the one that goes from the seawater pump to the oil cooler in the rear of the 7.4....
Unfortunately, I can no longer attach pictures here, and I am not here enough to justify the cash...
Take care,
Kent

Mudball,
No problem, I did the same thing you did. I just happen to have a hose with the correct bend from my box of old hoses.
But unfortunately it got tagged by the alternator belt. Thanks for the info anyway.

When running the dump line for the high pressure relief valve, would there be a problem with dumping it into the exhaust? Could it be dumped in anywhere? My exhaust has what appears to be an un-used valve (see pic) could I hook it in there? The red plugged up thing on the front side of the exhaust, just below the rubber hose that connects one part of the exhaust to the other.

MiamiOS, you can dump the overflow anywhere.
I would not personally dump it into the exhaust, but you could.
My dump flows quite a bit, especially before the thermostat opens.
I would, if given the option, dump it on the drive!
I don't have transom space for a drive dump...

What is your reason for not dumping it into the exhaust? I was wondering specifically about the angle of that fitting and where the water would be going (reversion, etc.) . I was just hoping there was somewhere to tap it into externally, so I don't have to drill any new holes in my transom

Ginger or Mary Ann?

By dumping the excess water from the relief valve into the exhaust, you are defeating the purpose of the relief valve.
Wet exhaust is the exit point for the cooling water that is introduced to the motor, via the sea water pump. It is the end point before returning to the lake, river, ocean, whatever.
By dumping the excess water into the exhaust, you are just bypassing the motor, and reintroducing the water back into the cooling system.
Dump it overboard.

What should the oil temp be in the HP500? I am running a crossover and no thermostat and my oil temp usually runs around 100 - 140 and no hotter. Should I look to replace the thermostat in the filter housing? The engines are 1999 carb and I doubt the previous owner changed them. How long do they last?
thanks
Shawn
