I am installing the heatercraft heater on my 2008 XLV with the 340 engine.

I am using the Heatercraft low RPM WYE adapter and doing it per their instructions by tapping into the fresh water intake just before the impeller pump. (excuse my hack job on the intake hose, that hose with the metal going through it isn't the easiest stuff to cut)

I tapped a fitting into a spot where there was an NPT plug.

Water came out when I removed the plug. And it's right near the engine water pump, so it seemed like a logical spot. However, I ran the engine on the hose (flush pro) until it was up to temp and there was nothing on the heatercraft hoses. The other hoses were plenty warm. I'm not sure what's up and what is wrong.
I was kinda happy that I didn't have any leaks. But pretty unhappy that water doesn't seem to be circulating. :-(
