Thanks Bruce!
I ended up ordering Sheilds heater hose from Amazon. Like Joel Said.
50' was cheaper than the 20' I need from West Marine.
I just worked on other stuff this weekend.

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!
