Hi All,
I was able to pressurize both the tank, 40psi for about an hour, and the coil,
10lbs for about 45 minutes, the only leaking I could detect was at the hose
clamps. So, I think I'm good to go. I already bought new elements, one as a
spare. I'm going to replace the engine side hose with heater hose. I looked
into the clear silicone but, I'm not sold on it for the price. Is there any
particular brand hose I should be looking at or is the stuff you an get at the
autoparts store what I should use.
I could pick that up now and have this wrapped up today.

Danny,
That is not heater hose. I would see if it is temperature rated for 180 degree
water! I just bought a 50 foot roll from Amazon because it was cheaper than 15
feet at West. If you were nearby, I'd give you the rest.
Yes, I'd hook up a hose and see if there is a leak. They likely bypassed it
for a reason.

Hello all,
Well, In the fall of 2015, when we were in the process of buying our boat, the
water heater was hooked up and tripping the shore power breaker at the survey.
Surveyor said, it's probably just the element.
There is a loop in the engine for the piping to the coil heat exchanger inside
the water heater. This was hooked at inspection. Well, as i needed some
repairs done for the delivery home, I hired the yard where she spent 26 of her
30 years to fix a few things. Drain the old fuel, replace filters, replace
some gauges, repair the toilet. Well, after I got the boat home I realized
they had completely disconnected and bypassed the heat exchanger tubing from
the water heater to the engine and never said anything to me about.
I called and called and called to try and find out why but, they simply
refused to return my call.
My question now is, should i just hook it back up and see what the issue is?
Here is a pic at survey.

You can see where nylon reinforced hose is attached. Now, those two
connections are by passed. I guess I could hook up a pump and pump water
through the heat exchanger and see if anything horrible happens that way.
Then, at least, i wouldn't get antifreeze all over the place.
Anyway, any insights, advice or observations will be great appreciated!
