250 sundancer water heater ?

[ericcarr2000]

Ok guys. As many of you know by now I recently purchased a 1990 250 sundancer and I was wondering to get the water system back up and running from winterization do I have to fill up the water heater to be able to use the faucets? Also, I notice that I have 2 hoses that run from the motor to the back of the heater itself, these hoses dont actually supply the water to the heater do they, there is a hose that runs from the fresh water holding tank to the heater, im assuming that I need to fill up the water heater to be able to prime the system?
Any thoughts?

You either need to fill the hot water heater by using the boats water system, or you need to bypass it with a hose. Air doesn't compress very well in a boats water system

The two hoses going to/from the engine are used to heat the water in the water heater from the heat of running the engine. You can keep your circuit breaker turned off so long as you run your engine for a while each day and the engine will heat the water for you
