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

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. Joel

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!
