I have a 1986 Ford Lehman 135 which was recently rebuilt. The hot water heater is 25 years old and leaking....so I am bypassing it with the fresh water. Problem is that there is a heat exchanger in the water heater, so I cut and plugged both hoses. Engine runs fine at about 7knts, but above that speed the engine begins to overheat. We have no need for a water heater so any suggestions on what I should do?? Should I connect the 2 hoses together? I know the best thing to do would be to replace the water heater and the heat exchanger which is solidly attached to the existing water heater unit but we really don't need hot water.
