It doesn't matter that your Yanmar is raw water cooled - so is mine and probably a majority of the small Yanmars. You can still plumb your heater's heat sync to the engine water. Paloma's had an AC/engine-heated hot water heater (Yanmar 2QM15) since new, I just recently replaced the heater - the first one lasted over 25 years.
