Heatercraft 340 elite installation questions... 08 SAN 230

[shag]

Has anyone done this install? I know I will have to tap the PINS on the 40 pin duetsch connector, but I am installing the circulation pump inline as well.... Dealer says it's a 8 hour install and I don't want to spend more in the install , than the heater itself... lol

Wow, you sound super confident. Why do you think you have to "tap the PINS on the 40 pin duetsch connector."? I sure did not have to on my 08 210...

I put a three port in my 211, and the factory location had a piece of plywood glassed into the hull for mounting, and the wiring harness was also in there making the install super easy. only real issue was running the heater outputs to the factory locations under dash. That and cutting the holes for the tubes, still don't like cutting holes in the boat.

Well, I tapped a pin into the 12V pin out on the Duestch connector for my underwater LED's, and thought that is what I would need to do. After further review, the wires come out of the connector for the heater, however there is no 4 prong plug to just plug into... So I guess I will have to split the wires from the loom and splice.. Which i will have to have 2 to 1 connectors since I am also wiring up the circulation pump so I have good heat at idle... The Y has not worked well for me in the past so i got the one with the pump this time...
