Decided all the other projects on the boat weren't "fun" enough, so I bought a new water heater and actually started installing it the same day! Per the Woodster, I pulled the aft panel out of the quarterberth (after hauling all the stuff out of there I'd had stored), cleared out the main cockpit compartment, and was then able to remove the two screws (seems insufficient, that) holding the tank in place. After draining the water and removing the connections, I could shift the tank around fairly easily, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to get it out through the q'berth. The opening measures about 13 x 15", while the tank measures about 16 x 18". Do I have to cut it up? (BobM: Have Sawzall, will travel?)
I'll attach a photo, but I don't think it'll tell you much.
Hmm. I suppose I should go measure the one I'm intending to install!
BTW I'd noted some time back that one of our members was thinking about putting in air conditioning and was discouraged because "the boat wasn't worth it." Did I miss that memo? I'd always thought the purchase price of the boat was only a modest down payment (20%?) toward what will eventually be the true cost!
