My old water heater is showing signs of it's age, it's rusting along it's base. SeaRayguy has a nice stainless steal 6gal heater, my question is, I have a heat exchanger, does this mean anything when it comes to replacing the heater itself?

Hey, gang - - speaking of water heaters - - the water heater on my 270 DA works well with shore power, or with the generator (when the generator is working) - - it used to work fine after running the engine for a while, but now the water doesn't heat when running the engine (but works with shore power). Any suggestions? thanks; Pete/guitarfish

George - yup, replacing a HWH is pretty straight forward and it seems like you have a good handle on it. Remember to turn off the breaker for the heater before you start messing with the wires.
I hate electricity.....that was the first thing I did! I did run into an issue with the hoses bringing hot coolant from the engine to the heater. One was completely blocked, the other was red muck. Nothing was running thru them. Both will be replaced from the block to the water heater tomorrow. I do have one question.... Hot side is from the top of this circuit and cold from the bottom, right?
Move a riser to get the water heater out? Or get the block plugs out?
