I may need to set up a raw water cooling for Tadworth, i have the original water intakes on the engine room hull, but they are blanked off, and it would help if i knew what the original set up was on Town class motors. Have any historic boats got the original raw water system ? Did they have a filter, or a mud box or what ?
Pictures would be good.

I'm not familiar with a historically accurate set up for a Town Class motorboat, however, one piece of advice is use good quality DZR ball valves for seacocks not shitty cheap brass gate valves.

They have two water intakes one high and one low on the engine room swim, I believe one was for the cooling and one to flood the bilges for ballast when empty.

As I understand it the lower one was for running empty, the higher one for running loaded, to minimise the intake of mud/silt from the bottom of the canal.
I may be wrong
