Installed the bottom Heater Connection
I got the SeaRey Cabin Heater before Viking came out with theres. The SeaRey heater uses standard 5/8" Auto Heater Hose and I had already installed the aluminum tubing and hose during the build. The Viking uses a 3/8" hose or tubing and the bottom connection on the engine and I was looking all over for a way to connect 5/8" hose to a 3/8" female NPT fitting. I just happen to pass buy an out of the way Auto/Marine Parts store and ask how I connect 5/8" heater hose to a 3/8" female fitting and she walked over to a rack display and pull two different lengths of "Heater Hose Fittings". I took them both.
I could not find the other connection on the engine and The Viking Installation Video did not show the upper connection on a SeaRey Viking setup. I had Steve Barber send me a picture of his and I found that the upper is not 3/8"NPT but looks to be 1/4"NPT. Now I have to find away to connect that.
