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
ins
Danny, not sure I would test that high a pressure. The coolant pressure won't
be as high as your domestic water pressure. You could pressurize the tank with
fresh water and test the bypass loop by opening the loop caps if they are
capped. If the loop leaks it can be easily repaired. But that doe
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 bypass
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 y
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 ho
Just as an FYI, here is the heater setup.

Getting that out will not be an easy job!

The *coolant side* would be maybe 10 or 15 PSI max.

Ok, so maybe I go back to testing the heat exchanger with a pump and a bucket
of water. The pressure around the boat yard is probably near 30 or 40 lbs or
so I may try the "glassblower" method first!

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 elemen
y to you latest question. Stand auto parts
store heater hose is what I did.
