I have a 1960 Crosby Striper with an IH 264 and a Paragon Gear. Engine & gear are raw water cooled. Have been restoring the boat for past 20 yrs. Getting close!! I rebuilt the engine at the beginning of the project. All hoses & lines were labeled, but, over time labels have worn off.
I'm trying to figure out water line path for the Paragon Gear. Water comes in from the sea strainer to the water pump on the engine. It then goes into the engine oil cooler and into the engine and manifold. There seems to be no allowance for water to get to the gear after the water pump.
There are 2 water line fittings on either side of the gear near the bottom of the housing. One is a "T" that is capped off with a short piece of hose and plug.
I am not sure how the cooling water gets to the gear. Is it possible that the raw water would run from the sea strainer, through the gear and then to the water pump?? Does it make a difference which side is inlet and outlet?? |
