I'm helping an older gentleman repair his boat. Neither of us are very familiar with it. The boat is full of stuff and difficult to work on. Anyone know where the water heater might be? We repaired the heat exchanger but I don't think the coolant is flowing now. I probably just need to purge the air from the water heater loop, it would be nice to locate it without having to go through the entire boat.

Sorry, I don’t know. But can you follow the AF lines from the engine to the WH?

Not easily. Access to the engine is terrible. If all else fails I'll just look in every possible hiding place.

This boat does not have a water heater anymore, it has previously been removed. It used to be directly behind the engine/transmission.
