FYI...The "CYA" no longer exists....Yep Canadian Yachting Association is
gone....well in name at least.
The new governing body is Sail Canada. Offical name change was voted in
at the AGM last weekend.

That's pretty restrictive language... and for most of us who bought
our boats used, how are we to know if our stoves were professionally
installed or not?
And even if it was, when the propane line gets old and and needs
replacement, can you not DIY it? Or how about replacing the stove
itself? Which many of us do, I'm sure.
Seems like a silly CYA move from the insurer (and I'm not referring to
the Canadian Yachting Association). As long as the survey looks at
the propane installation, the insurer shouldn't have any concern as to
how much it cost to install it.

Hi Colin
Well, my policy specifically has the wording "the insured vessel
will not b equipped with any permanently attached propane or
natural gas powered refrigerator, heater, or cooking apparatus
which was not professionally installed".
So a stove is indeed OK (and the boat has one). As to the heater,
presumably one would not find a "professional" installer who would
install a non marine rated demand hot water unit, hence my comment.
I was not previously aware of the "PrecisionTemp" units, they
sound good and if "professionally" installed I'm sure my insurance
co would be fine with it.
My heating solution was a hydronic Espar unit, it heats the hot
water tank and also two radiators in the cabin. As detailed in
the Sept/Oct issue of Good Old Boat. It burns diesel, and not
much of it.

Graham,
Does your insurer let you use a propane stove? If so, why would a
water heater be any different?
(Assuming of course that you have appropriate solenoids,
thermocouples, and the like)

If I was to buy a new water heater, I think I'd
consider a propane one
rather than electric.
I rarely hook up to shore power anymore, so the
electric heater's a
bit of a waste.
Also, being able to have a hot shower while on the
hook in New England
and Maine would have been really nice. Water's cold
up there....

I may be interested. My boat just has a 110v
heater as well. It quit a
couple of years ago and with a raw water cooled
engine I decided not to
bother, but.....
Where are you? How much?

Joel,
I replaced the Raritan (for some wacko reason
the PO had 110v only
unit
nstalled??!!...it is still sitting
basement...anyone want it?) with a
Seaward.
Works fine but I imagine the Raritan will hold
the heat longer. We
can
hold shower-hot war for about 12 hours.

Subject: Stus-List Hot water heaters
The Office has a 6 gallon Raritan hot water
heater that is starting
to
rust at the bottom, so I know its days are
numbered. I could replace it
with an identical unit for about $700. Defender
and others sell a 6
gallon
Seaward unit for about $250.
Any recommendations (besides shower ashore)?
