Fiesta Vee 330 Water Heater

dhlOASIS

Hello.. I have a 98 Fiesta Vee 330 and have no idea how to access my water heater. The water heater is located port side aft cabin behind a wall with no access. This is the oddest setup i have seen on my boat. My A/C is located in front of my water heater and has a velcro strip on my seat cushion that pulls off for easy access, but my water heater is behind my A/C with no access. Has anyone had this problem before ? If so, what do I need to do to gain access. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Now that you have water drained. Pump out remaining water in holding tank. Then you can put about 6/8 gallons of pink in the water tank. Then pump the system full. turn on faucets until pink shows up, do not forget the shower on the outside in back on swim platform.

I do not need to replace it. NO room for winterzing.

Yes, draining is easy but how do you run antifreeze through your lines ? It is a 6 gallon water heater.

I didn't know my water heater was behind my AC.  Good to know @Alswagg.

It's best to put a bypass valve on it.  Then you just leave it drained for the winter without any antifreeze in it.

That's what I am having trouble with. I cant get to the water heater to put a bypass valve on it because i cant reach it due to it being behind my aft seating area with no access.
