Hi Otto,

Most boat engines injest water into the cooling passages of the engine, and pump it out. So, they are direct conduction cooled. No need for a heat exchanger at all, although bigger engines have a water to water heat exchanger. That is why an outboard motor can be so light-weight. Ever seen a radiator on a boat? Nope. Its just the engines down in the engine bay.
