Heater hose

[yabetcha]

Can someone with a factory heater tell me where the factory routes the two heater hoses in vdrives. I'm trying to run the heater hose through the starboard stringer, but the second hose is getting stuck between the midship infloor hatch and the opening under the dash.

Thanks,

Brian

I just installed my second heater this weekend.. On my 23LSV the hoses come up from under the floor in middle of the v-drive (but to the drivers side of the motor) There seems to be some sort of passage way from there all the way to the front of the boat under the floor and between the ballast/fuel tanks. The high pressure side hose wraps around the back of the motor (secured to the bottom of the hull behind the motor) and them comes up on the left side of the motor and attaches to a barb that is tapped in by the thermostat. The return line just loops up and connects near the water pump.

Not sure if that helps you much.. but that is what i discovered this weekend.
