Awsome. I talked to my dealer about my installation
and he said that they don't do them like the book says.
I am interested to see their installation and post pics.

After further discussion with my dealer it looks like I will be attempting to install this myself. Cost for install was going to be more than the heater cost. Have heard it was rather expensive to install as it takes quite a bit of time.

I talked to Greg over at Malibu Crew and he forwarded me a couple of links from previous installs.
Hope these help those out there that are doing this themselves.
As everyone starts this process please post pics and tips here to help everyone else along.

Don't forget that today is the last day for Group Buy.

As you can see the hoses run along the gas tank real easy. I fed line to the heater on the right side.
The line from the heater on the left.

I put a shut off valve on the main line coming from the motor.

I connected the low idle "Y" to the left side of the tranny.

I mounted the heater in sub box compartment all the way to the back. ( this was a pain in the ass) get one of your friend that is small my big ass couldn't move around in that hole.

That's as far as I got last night. Took about 2 hours to run lines and mount heater. No wiring or vents run yet.

Great stuff guys. Just got back in town tonight and mine was here waiting when I got home. Been struggling with doing it myself or letting the dealer do it. With this type of info I really am thinking about taking this on and doing it myself. All this info really is very helpful and hopefully it will help out a lot of folks. Thanks guys. I really love this forum. 'Wake On' guys..... All the way through the winter with these heaters!!!
