Filled the water tank and the very next morning it was empty (normally a tank full lasts four days with four people aboard). Took a look in the bilge and it looks like the water heater is leaking from the bottom/middle.
So I need a water heater which you'd think would be no big deal to replace.
We'll Sea Ray decided to mount three a/c units infront of and on top of the water heater! Worse, the water heater is wedged between the port diesel and the side of the boat such that you'd have to pull everything out alongside the diesel, around the front of the diesel, and then back between the diesels to get out of the boat.
Needless to say, its a major undertaking, yet I have plans the next several weekends straight.
So, in the mean time, I figure I can disconnect the water lines going to the heater. I found in the West Marine catalog a temporary unit that "instantly" warms water: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...RL=true&storeNum=11&subdeptNum=27&classNum=28
Has anyone tried one of these Elecric Instantaneous Water Heaters? Would it heat well enough to take a shower?
Thanks,
