Be careful. I would expect the water from your engine cooling system to be warmer than 110. Most thermostats are set to closer to 160 - 180 degrees, which would be far too hot. You might need a mixing valve to regulate the temperature. That complicates the installation quite a bit. I could be wrong, though. Wouldn't be the first time.

My positive reasons for this is extra room and ease of draining and overall cleaning. I am considering connecting to the input hot water line before it enters the water heater coming from the engine. The boat is on fresh water , hence I would have unlimited volume of water available, I assume the water would be pure and clean even though it has gone through the engine cooling (heating) system, I also assume the temperature of the water to only be in the 110 degree level at best, and there is a recirculating pump (that normally recirculates the water from the engine through the heat exchanger) that can power the water to the shower wand. So where is my thinking flawed? Thanks, George Cone C&C 40 Vermont
