Hi, I'm new here and to boating in general. I just got a 1997 Wellcraft 23se with aluminum 3 axle trailer. Boat has a 350 Mag Alpha gen II outdrive 14.5 17P prop. Has AC, hot water heater, fridge, vacuflush porcelain toilet, water as soon as you open the faucet and many more extras... Motor has the spark arrester on it but missing the other cover with engine size on it. I need one if anyone has an extra one lying around.. I live in Tremont Ms. just about 10 miles from the ten tom waterway. Only thing I don't like is no AC or hot water while underway only when plugged in to shore power. Will have to check into a generator or something for that... Any good advice is welcome thanks...

Surprising that your engine is not heating water when underway. Besides the two water system lines into and out of your hot water tank, there should be two black rubber hoses connected to the engine, sort of a heat exchanger. If you don't have that capability, then the best bet is the generator

There are 2 fittings sticking out of the heater but nothing is hooked to them. No rubber lines from engine to heater either. Have a diagram of how that hooks up??? Thanks Boat is very clean inside and out..
