The heater install is next. any tips or suggestions would be great!!!
I'm planning on putting the heater blower/exchanger unit basically under the driver's seat.

In the obv I had a 4 vent system Two ppl outs in the walk way. One pullout behind the drivers seat and a fixed vent under the helm . I mounted everything under the helm on the back side of the sub hump . Also put two shutoff valves at the engine tap

The oem xlv heater only has two and no foot warmer for the driver . Boohoo

So I got a package of fittings from Wakemakers yesterday. So I made the hose adapter for the starboard drain pump. I measured and tried to get it nice and centered on where the bag's port will be.

And the Port side pump. I'm hoping this will be on the mark for priming...

doesn't look centered to me, are you sure you measured correctly ?

I think it might be an optical illusion.

However, if I find out it's not optimal, then I'll just whip out another length with another hose scrap that I have leftover. No worries there.

Read the rules... No whipping anything out on the forum. Serious consequences for that sort of behavior.

^^^^ I can see why your a moderator. Nothing gets past you.

There always has been and there still is.... one moderator who has the power over the other moderators to whip it out.

What a turn this thread has taken!
