    Excalibuer 330 heater core hose location

    Anyone happen to have a good picture of the intake and output hoses for the heater core on the Excalibur 330? I'm going through the winterization process, but I can't seem to find them on my newly acquired 2005 SV 211. There are no red hoses coming off my engine. The dash has a button for a heater with a working relay, but i've never felt any heat by my feet when activating it on any of the 3 settings. I peaked over the kick panel and didn't see anything resembling a heater core there. It could be possible the prior owner pulled it. Thanks for the help.

    Do you hear the fan come on when you turn it on? Cold air coming out of the duct, or no air? The heater core is the most susceptible to freezing damage if not properly winterized, and they do eventually go, so it’s possible the prior owner pulled it and didn’t replace it. The heaters don’t do much anyways.

    the heater line on my old excal can be seen front left, red hose near the FCC, the connection points are under the plastic cover and the black hose going to the exhaust manifold.

      Also note, you 211 will have the motor flipped 180 degrees from my direct drive, so it be on the back right corner when you open you engine hatch to locate it.

        My wife and kids would disagree with you.

          Thanks for the response! I took another look this evening. Definitely don’t see a hose coming out of the engine in the same location yours is. Didn’t hear a fan (or any noise at all) when turning the heater button on. I also don’t feel any air blowing at all. Here’s a picture of the top of my engine. Anything to you guys look like a heater hose? Hard to see in the way back on the 211, but I’ll try to stick my phone back there and take a picture tomorrow. Click image for larger version

          I’m thinking there isn’t one installed on the boat despite the button on the dash.

            We love our heater. Girlfriend laughed when I said the boat has a heater. Till that cool fall evening came and I pulled out the tube and tucked it under her towel. Now she brags about it and tells the same story.
