On my MY2010 R25 with a Yanmar 150 HP engine I'm interested in knowing if fresh water or salt water is passed through the cabin heater unit located under the helmsman's feet ?

I'm aware that raw/salt water is used to transfer heat from the engine's closed fresh water system and this must be done using a heat transfer exchange.

If the helm located cabin heater uses the fresh water engine cooling system then I assume that if the engine shows signs of over heating that operating the cabin heater will help in lowering the engine temperature -- much like in a car's cooling system.
 
Cabin heater is in the engine coolant circulation, not in the raw water loop...
Running the fan on the heater will help remove heat from the coolant.

As long as it isn't overheating because of loss of coolant. Then it doesn't really help. The voice of experience.
