This is my boat is plumbed, 460 w/ Bassets.
..Pump to tee.
..Tee to water pump plate.
..One T-stat outlet goes to exit water.
..The other T-stat outlet goes up to my manual valve under my seat and then back to my Basset valve (ball and spring removed) then tee'd off to my headers.
I just run the manual valve because sand kept jamming up the ball and spring in my Basset valve and it would pull water back into the cylinders. Not everone does it this way but for me it's mo betta. Hope that helps.
