Replacing hot water heater

[lacoursmarc]

Anyone have tips/instructions on how best to disconnect the heat exchanger hoses? I have a Hunter 29.5 and a closed engine heating system.

I am not sure what your water heater looks like, but if it is the 6 gallon type visit my website for a full installation with images.

You can use a dinghy air pump to get the most of the coolant out of the hoses.... good time to do a hose replacement as well if they are more than 15 years old ?
