R27/OB Isotemp water heater advice

[thargett]

Hey folks - I just acquired this 2023 R27 and I'm try to troubleshoot the water heater.

The boat was winterized in CT. It looks to me like the cold and hot water lines are not connected?

How difficult is it to make this work?

Thanks

Travis

You're missing some piping.

Usually when someone winterizes the heater, but wants to keep cold water working, they'll do as illustrated.
Then to restore service, just connect the red pipe to the top of the tank, and the blue to the bottom of the tank.

Super helpful - looks like I need two threaded to pex elbows. It all makes sense now!
