Sea-Doo Open Loop Cooling Kit | 230/300 1630 ACE | GT40 Marine
The factory closed-loop cooling system on Sea-Doo's 1630 ACE platform was designed for casual cruising. GT40Marine's Sea-Doo Open Loop Cooling Kit converts the head cooling path to a continuous raw-water circuit so tuned 230 and 300 HP builds can hold power longer under sustained load.
The kit is built around marine-grade hose, billet hardware, brass fittings, stainless clamps, and an adjustable flow regulator so you can tune cooling for warm saltwater, southern lakes, or cooler northern water.
Run cooler. Hold power longer. Give your 1630 ACE build the support it needs.

FAQ
What does open-loop cooling do?
It routes raw water through the head cooling path to add cooling capacity and reduce heat soak on hard-ridden 1630 ACE builds.
Does it add horsepower by itself?
Not directly. It supports the engine so tuned builds can hold their power more consistently under heat and sustained load.
Is it safe for saltwater?
Yes, with disciplined post-ride flushing. The kit uses marine-grade hose, billet hardware, brass fittings, and stainless clamps.
Can it be reversed?
Yes. The kit is a conversion parts package and does not require permanent block or head casting modification.
