Heater leaking water?

[rtmcdonald]

Hey everyone, we're currently at Lake Powell. Yesterday while we're cruising around I feel my feet get wet from while driving. This is usually a very dry spot on the boat. After investigating underneath I believe that the heater is leaking water. I tightened the hoses, etc. anyone have their heater do this? ('02 21V)

Mine heater core burst over winter so I had the same problem. A temporary fix is to disconnect the in and out hoses to the heater, and connect them together bypassing the heater. I had to do that fix this spring until I got a new heater core. I think it is a 5/8th to 5/8th barb.

Thanks! Here's what I did.
