Dennis I had that same water heater (both engine coolant heated and electrical when there was a power hookup, but on my 35 MKII it was mounted under the shelf in the port cockpit. I found that having the hot water tank mounted high, just below the shelf like that caused airlocks in the system and the cooling water pump from the engine was not able to push the hot coolant uphill and through the hot water tank coil to where it would be useful waste heat to use to heat water in the hot water tank. I installed a gate valve in the main coolant line to the heat exchanger and that worked to some extent forcing hot coolant into the hot water tank loop but under high power requirements, like motoring into a headwind and big waves I was unable to drive my engine hard without overheating, even with the valve full open to the heat exchanger I think because the orifice reduction produced just by having the opened valve in line was sufficient to prevent adequate flow through the heat exchanger. I am in the process of installing my hot water tank lower down close to the hull in that same locker which means that all of my fenders will sit on top of it and it will be in the way even more when I have to squeeze down into that locker to do work, like on the rudder quadrant or the manual bilge pump or the electrical panel for the engine etc. But I think it will work better as a water heater in that location because the inlet and outlet lines for the coolan will be more or less on the same plain as the outlet and returns on the engine.

Sent: May 20, 2013 4:24 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 35 mk1 plumbing Kyle, Touche' has a 26 gallon bladder tank under the aft seat of the dinette where the original fiberglass rigid tank was. I have a ParMate pump and accumulator mounted just outboard of the tank in the same compartment. There is a small strainer located there as well. One creative spot for you to look at for additional tankage is to put a bladder tank between the hull and liner outboard of the hanging locker. If I was to add a water heater, I would consider the round Isotemp Slim 15 round water heater mounted under the shelf in the starboard cockpit locker. Dennis C.

I would like to know where folks may have place additional water tanks and what they best way to heat and pressurize the system would be. Currently there is a smallish tank on the port side in space below the tables bench seat. Has anyone used a bladder in this boat and if so what size and where did they locate it.
