An apparatus and method for supplying temperate water from a water cooled internal combustion engine to warm outdoor water enthusiasts during cool weather, said engine generally having a cooling system with an intake, a cool water pump with a discharge to supply cool water to the cooling system and a warm water pump having a discharge to circulate water in the cooling system, said apparatus and method comprising a warm water supply line connected to the discharge side of the circulating pump in the engine cooling system, a cool water supply line connected between the cool water pump discharge and the engine cooling system intake, the cool water supply line and the warm water supply line feeding into a Y-connection and delivery line having a shower head or other water distribution apparatus at the opposite end for warming, for example, a water skier; valves in the warm water supply line and cold water supply line control the flow of water in each line; a valve in the shower head regulates the volume of water delivered to the shower head; a quick disconnect fitting with a shutoff valve at the Y-connection allows storage of the delivery line when not in use; and a valve in the delivery line before the shower head allows flow in the delivery line to be shut off so the shower head can be disconnected while the engine is running.
A shower kit for conversion of an internal combustion engine on a boat to provide temperate water for cool weather water activities, said engine having a cooling system with cooling system fluid and a cool fluid intake, a cool fluid pump having a discharge to supply cool fluid to the cool fluid intake of the engine and a warm fluid pump having a discharge to circulate fluid in the cooling system, which comprises:
An apparatus for providing temperate water for use in cool weather water activities from an internal combustion engine, said engine having a cooling system, a warm fluid pump with a discharge to circulate fluid in the cooling system and a cool fluid pump with a discharge to supply cool fluid to the cooling system, comprising:
A method of providing temperate fluid from an internal combustion engine on a boat for use during cool weather water activities, said engine having a fluid cooling system with a fluid intake, a cool fluid pump having a discharge to supply cool fluid to the cooling system and a warm fluid pump to circulate fluid through the cooling system, comprising:
A pumpless warm water system for installation on an internal combustion engine on a boat floated in a body of water which supplies engine coolant water for end use by outdoor sports enthusiasts in cool weather, said engine having a cool water pump with a discharge to supply engine coolant from the body of water, an engine cooling system utilizing water, and a warm water pump with a discharge to circulate engine coolant in the cooling system, which comprises:
