We are planning on doing the Ha Ha in October and want to add water maker. No plans for a generator so its either DC water maker or Engine driven.
I would like to hear from users of both as to their experience and any suggestions.

I have engine driven. Make water while you charge batteries or motor in light winds

There are also portable units like Rainman that deploy with small gasoline motors, and require no installation. Think there is a dealer in Newport Beach.

We'll see you in the haha. Having done before I found water more precious than fuel. I just bought a sense 50 with factory installed watermaker. Haven't got delivery yet but hope it has automatic weekly back wash as I won't be on the boat all the time. I hear great things about spectra.

Google Rich Boren. He sells a variety of watermakers out of Morro Bay.
