Where is my water heater?

My boat is a 2000 Marlin. Like the title says, where is my water heater and how do I get to it? I believe it is under the port side seat, but I can't figure out how to get to it. Someone mentioned that they can access their 2002's via the port wall in the aft berth, but I did not see any access there for mine.

Not sure it is the same as a 2006 Marlin, but mine is under the stbd. seat. I can get to mine by removing the four tackle drawers and reaching though back of the tackle station. Pretty easy to drain for the winter.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. They must have changed things a bit over the years because mine is under the port seat according to my manual. Unfortunately, Grady didn't explain how it can be accessed. I need to get to it so I can drain it for the winter.

On my 2003 you get to it by removing the tackle storage that is below the bait prep sink. With the trim screws removed, the whole unit slides out, and I can get to the drain.

Hope that helps, good luck

If you put non toxic antifreeze in it you don't have to drain it.
