    Can anyone tell me the pros and the cons of using copper pipe in the water cooling system of a BBF?
    Thanks in advance,

    I'm pretty sure you'd be better off sticking with some sort of hose that can bend and flex rather than something rigid like copper.

    With the pounding that a boat takes having plumbing that will flex and bend is pobably a good thing. The ridgid line might pose a problem.

    Copper plumbing belongs in a house.....not in a boat!

    If you are going that route, I'd save some money and use Galvenized or PVC.

    Ammonia will cause it to crack, so it a bird sh*ts on it, it gets screwed up...If you wanna hardline the motor go aluminum or stainless...
