    Closed/Heat Exchanger Closed heat exchanger cooling is the best alternative for most applications. Kohler Co. recommends using closed heat exchanger cooling if the craft is operated in saltwater or water with high silt content. Provide service accessibility for the water-cooled exhaust manifold pressure cap.
