I don't have a hot water heater on my boat - thinking about adding one (I'm not feeling the "sun shower" in the cockpit will fly with my soon to be 16 yr old daughter - all the kids are happy that the new boat actually has DOOR on the head rather than the current flimsy curtain)
I've never plugged into shore power with my current boat - and anticipate that my new CS 30 will live on the mooring and rarely, if ever, plug in at a marina. As such I wonder if I can just get a heat exchanger and pressure tank for hot water rather than buying a 120V hot water heater.
Or is it a useless effort? am I better off just buying the pre-packaged unit?

I used a Kuuma 11811 stainless steel, rectangular, 6 gallon water heater, 120v, with front inlet/outletfor the heat exchanget. The unit is about 14" x 14" x 19" tall. Cost was about $230 plus UPS - about $250 total. I see them listed on Amazon, Go2Marine, and other websites. You might be able to get one on E-Bay for $150-175. Mine is mounted on a shelf in the cabinet under the galley sink, in an outboard area that was not easily accessible for storing stuff, nor used for anything else. The location also puts it within 18" of the pressure water pump on my boat. Josh, why so much copper on your installation? I have used brass adapters and connected right to the hoses for engine coolant and the pressure water system.

Raritan's 1700 Series replacement model is one half inch bigger than my old one, and I had trouble removing the old one from the locker, so I think that model is out of the question. So if anyone can please chime in and let me know what specific model you have installed, it would be most appreciated!
