1993 Carver 300 Sedan Needs New Hot Water Heater

Post by Dusty Bilges »

There's always something. Lost water pressure, and water was going into the bilge. I bypassed the hot water heater. That problem solved. Great pressure, no leak but . . . . .
Has anyone out there removed the hot water heater from a boat like mine where the hot water heater is under the galley counter??? I see a new heater is under $400 in West Marine, so I am hoping I don't have to use a Sawzall to get this done.

I recently had to deal with a blown water heater on my 2000 Voyager 374. There was no way to get the old tank out without a sawsall, so I just slid it back and installed a new, compact tank instead. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/isotemp- ... cordNum=10

It is pricey, but i was able to put it in without having to remove anything else. While i did that, I also installed an expansion tank, as my boat never had one. I still need to connect to the engine heat, but it's working great on 110v.

Just a thought.
