2008 210 SANTE: Help Locating the Heater Core

[Andrew14]

Still trying to learn all of the functionality of my boat (I've not had a lot of luck figuring things out using the manual - its pretty non descriptive IMO). I can't tell if my boat has a heater and its just not working or if it is just wired for the heater and one was not installed. Underneath the driver's seat (on the floor) is about a 3" x 6" chrome grill that looks like heat would come from here if it had a heater. Also, there is a button on the dash near the ballast buttons that has a Fan symbol on it with what looks like air blowing through it. When I hit this button, it lights up (leading me to believe that its not just a dummy switch), but nothing happens (I don't think its the blower switch either).

How can I tell if my boat has a heater or not? Where would I look to try to locate the Heater core if it has one and if it does not, is this a difficult item to install myself? White Lake has them on their site, so I would order one from there.

Thank you for the help - I've really enjoyed learning more about my boat through everyone's help on here.

There are three vent outlets on my 08 210 heater. All are black 3'' round one is on top of the dash one is on the starboard side under the seat behind the drivers seat and the last one is on the front wall under the dash. It doesn't sound like you have a heater.

Thank you for the reply, Nautiquehunter - appreciate it. I believe you're right...does not sound like I have the heater option. Several other people have described the same set up for my boat if it had the heater.

Look at the engine block, if you have a heater one of the two drain plugs for the block will have a hose connected to feed the heater core with hot water, the return line connects in at the t-stat. The dash is pre-wired for the heater.
