Ok, So, the first think to do would be to pressurize it and then, if i don't see any leaks, get some appropriate hose. given that the working pressure is 150 and the test pressure is 300, hooking up a hose should not be a problem. I think I'll go that route. I tell you, getting 12 gals of

Danny — I’m not sure why they disconnected all of that; but given the high coolant temps, I would definitely replace all of the nylon-reinforced hose with high-temp rated hose. I’ve seen the clear hose develop “aneurisms” when under high temp and pressure; these will burst and you’ll lose all

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

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
