Riva open loop routing question
I am trying Riva open loop setup this year (with t-stat). The exit from the top of the head (t-stat outlet) they state to drill a hole in the hull and use the supplied thru-hull fitting near the bond line.
I already have a nice 3/4 outlet near the top of my pump shoe ... the nipple is there and I drilled it out and have used it for other things, but not right now. Question is, can I use that as an exit? That will be underwater at an idle, but not at speed ... not sure if that would be an issue with letting water out of the open loop in that location.
I can drill and mount the thru-hull, but would rather use this exit if it would cause no issues.

I run a T after my groco and a T after that. Exhaust, IC and engine all get their own fresh water. IC and head meet back and dump out of a 3/4 hole in my OPAS block-off. This is the best way I have found of doing it. My IC bleeds behind the seat and the ET cooler dumps through the OPAS T on the top of the pump tunnel. A lot of water is used.

on both my skis, I have also ran the outlet in the OPAS block off plate near the pump. 4 years and no issues.

The intermediate housing will probably take more like 10 pumps. Do it nice...
