Installing New Water Heater

[Optimality]

I need to install a new water heater on Hunter 30 foot sailboat, 1990. To remove the sette to gain access to the water heater, I must remove the teak trim. How do I remove this trim without damaging it?

Thanks to any suggestions.

Opt:

Typically the trim is attached with screws. If you inspect closely there are probably bungs that can be removed with a thin screwdriver or knief blade. Once you find them the trim can be easily removed. There may some joints that need to be disassembled and re-glued when you replace the trim.

Have you already purchased a new heater? If you have not done so, check out the Isotemp. These are great heaters top quality & extended heat retention.

Isotemp

I agree. We replaced our Kuuma 6 gallon with an Isotemp Slim 5 gallon last year. The build quality of the Isotemp is second to none. Defender has good prices on Isotemp water heaters.
