It's just called pipe joint compound. Comes in a little can with a brush built into the lid. Real nasty stuff so don't let it get everywhere :)Quote:

The part that kills me is that we are taking off to Hawaii for two weeks this Sunday so I will not be on the water until July 3rd after I get back.
Don't expect any sympathy from us :)Quote:

Now how do you winterize your heater system?
Well, this will be my first time winterizing it but I plan to disconnect the supply and return lines at the engine and then using either my air compressor or my 120V tube pump, blow the water out of the line.Quote:

I will have to say that is a neat way to circulate antifreeze. May have to give that a try.Quote:

Yup. In addition to two all-purpose outlets for heating in the cabin area, there is an outlet under the helm to warm the driver's feet. Nice.Quote:

What is the key deciding factor for deciding where to install the supply and return hoses for the heater?
I don't have the exact answer to ur question but when I first picked up my boat, I asked the service tech which ports I should use if I was to install a heater so that's what I went by.Quote:

On my 02 it was a factory install that used a plug on the engine block above the starter near the dipstick and the plug on the water pump. On newer there is label for the heater on the intake manifold plug and on the water pump..Quote:

I opted not to install a vent under the dash. I could get a "Y", some heater hose, and a vent and add it easily enough though.Quote:

Does anyone know off hand if the hole on the thermostat housing is
3/8" or 1/2" ? I got a 2010 lsv. indmar 325 thx
Pretty sure they are 1/2". If you look at the pics, I see "1/2" on one of the 90 degree brass fittings.Quote:
