On a raw water hose? That house goes from heat exchanger outlet to exhaust elbow inlet. So I just have to make sure that's up higher then the motor? I was thinking it was some kind of anti siphon valve

i believe anti-siphon valve is the same thing as a vacuum breaker.
The why and where they installed it? I can't answer that but I believe they are supposed to be on the exhaust water side to prevent sea water from being sucked back into the gen.
