hello all
I am looking to install a hot water heater in my 1971 Morgan 35' sailboat.... my wife wants some hot water for washing up, so I told her I would see about it.... I have been looking at hot water heaters for RV/Boats, but they all seam to be propaine.... do they make them in all electric (DC)... what are the better ones to get and install... and what size in gallons would be best.... our boat has a shower, but no hot water... the previous P/O unhooked the 46 gallon water tank and ran blue pvc pipe in the boat to a hookup for a regular water hose.... he never sailed the boat.... it was his live aboard at dock perminantly.... he and his wife lived on it for 2 years before I bought it from him....
I also have a 30 gallon water tank to add also.... this will give me 76 gallons when we are out at sea or someplace we cannot refill the tanks easily.... but my wife is insisting on hot water, and she doesn't want to keep heating it up in small quantities on the stove.... I also have 12v dc water pump to install (already have), so she has water pressure too... right now when we leave dock, there is no water unless it is bottled and we bring it with us... she is a real trooper, but likes a few things without a lot of work....
any help will be greatly appreciated in this....
sincerely
Jess
