The easy answer is: running the engine cooling water through pipes attached to the keel of your boat.
A guy named R.W. Fernstrum (http://www.fernstrum.com/?src=overture) started it back around WWII and it has become fairly popular since that time.
Nordhavn puts keel cooling on most all of it's really expensive yachts and a lot of fishing and commercial work boats have it too.

Yep. Basicly it just another kind of heat exchanger.

With it,you don't need a seawater pump,because the engine antifreeze runs through those keel pipes.
The commercial guys really like it cuz ice and other outside crud can't clog the system.

RThats true if a dry stack exhaust...
A wet exhaust still needs water to cool the pipe and that requires a seawater pump but is usually smaller capacity than needed for a heat exchanger.
