OK I need your guy's help. I'm putting together a 26' sleekcraft ambassador. I'm running a 454 with a volvo 280 I/O and Mercruiser style exhaust manifolds. So how do I run the cooling hoses? I have the hose coming from the outdrive and that goes straight to the crank mount water pump right? now from the where does it go? Do I have to run a regular car style water pump too? Also, I have two 1" water ports on the exh mans, one on the manifold and one on the riser. Do I use both of these?
Thanks for any help you can give. If you have pics of your own set up's it would be sweet. Thanks!!

Hey Man,
I'm not at the office. I could look at mine. BBut yes you do run a water pump. And you have two i inch hoses going to the exhaust. the ones to the riser take the hoses that come off the top of the t-stat housing. The two on the bottom come off the bottom of the t'stat housing. Now as far as the hose coming from the O/D, I'd have to look at mine. I wonnt be back in the office until next week. Hope this helps some
