MONITOR FRESH WATER COOLING KITS Most Monitor kits are of the block-only type with the engine block on the fresh water side and the exhaust manifolds remaining on the raw water side. Monitor is eliminating the inexpensive exhaust manifolds from the system in order to create superior cooling and corrosion protection for your costly engine block. The difference in installed cost between Monitor systems and the much more expensive full systems will more than pay for a set of replacement exhaust manifolds.
In general, the Monitor kits will fit engines manufactured from 1983 and on. In many cases the Monitor kits will fit earlier models with few to no modifications. |

KIT FITS:
Late model GM
(Chevy) based V6/V8 engines lacking power steering or with power steering
pump mounted low on port side of engine. Typical application on OMC
& Volvo Penta engine conversions.
SPACE
REQUIREMENT
System mounts
vertically on front starboard side of engine. Fits within overall
height, width and length of engine. Expansion tank 9" wide,
9" high, 5" deep mounts separately on vertical surface next to
engine. In case of unforeseen installation space problems kit may be
returned within 30 days for full credit.
COOLING SYSTEM TYPE
BLOCK ONLY. Engine
block on fresh water system. Exhaust manifolds remain on raw water
system.
CONVERSION
KIT
Kit includes
heat exchanger, heavy-duty translucent plastic expansion tank plus all
other components necessary to complete conversion. Some components
from engine are reused. Heat exchanger painted black. Brackets
and other components painted black or zinc plated. Hose clamps all

CONVERSION KIT FITS
Mercruiser Chevy based V6-V8
engines 262-305-350 CID both sterndrive and inboard. Especially
designed for the low capacity raw water pumps used on sterndrive engines.
Will NOT fit most engines with high mounted alternators and/or V-drives.
Some engines have fuel line routing and fuel filter location that must be
changed slightly. Heat exchanger is 4 1/8" x 23.5" long and
fits within overall length, width, and height of most engine conversions.
Heat exchanger extends from extreme starboard side of a normal exhaust
manifold towards port side clearing most high mounted power steering pumps
if any. See above illustration. Plastic expansion tank mounts
either on front of heat exchanger or if space is limited on vertical surface
next to engine.
COOLING SYSTEM TYPE
FULL SYSTEM. Block and manifold.
Engine block and exhaust manifold on fresh water system. Exhaust
elbows remain on raw water system. System utilizes a new, unique,
high performance heat exchanger, with built in, full flow, bypass control
thermostat ensuring optimal jacket and exhaust manifold water flow under
all operating conditions.
CONVERSION KIT
Kit includes heat exchanger, heavy-duty
translucent plastic expansion tank plus all other components necessary to
complete conversion. Some components from engine are reused.
Heat exchanger painted black. Brackets and other components painted
black or zinc plated. All hose clamps are stainless.
HEAT EXCHANGER
Shell and tube type. Redesigned to
achieve a higher cooling capacity. All copper alloy construction made
to the highest industry standards. Heavy-duty dual de-mountable clean
out end covers. Zinc anode protection.

Chevy based big block V-8 engines 454-502 CID Big
Block CONVERSION KIT FITS: Chevy based big block V8 engines 454-502 CID both sterndrive, inboard and V-drive. Especially designed for the low capacity raw water pumps used on sterndrive engines. Will NOT fit most engines with high mounted alternators such as late model OMC engines. Separate kits are available for those engines. Some engines have fuel line routing and fuel filter location that must be changed slightly. Heat exchanger is 4 1/8" x 22.5" long and fits within overall length, width, and height of most engine conversions. Heat exchanger extends from the inside of the starboard exhaust manifold towards port side clearing most high mounted power steering pumps if any. See above illustration. Plastic expansion tank mounts either on front of heat exchanger or if space is limited on vertical surface next to engine. COOLING SYSTEM TYPE Block only. Engine block on fresh water system. Exhaust manifolds remain on raw water system. CONVERSION KIT Kit includes heat exchanger, heavy-duty translucent plastic expansion tank plus all other components necessary to complete conversion. Some components from engine are reused. Heat exchanger painted black. Brackets and other components painted black or zinc plated. Hose clamps all stainless. HEAT EXCHANGER Shell and tube type. Special new high capacity design. Ail copper alloy construction made to the highest industry standards. Heavy-duty dual remountable clean out end covers. Zinc anode protection |
