My elderly Prout 33 used to have LPG power hot water heater in the heads - it was ideal. No electrical draw, located right where I needed the Hotwater - the shower in the heads and I could have a showere dried out without running the engines. My home berth drys...
But I needed some work on the Gas connectors AND the heater had stopped working and the Corgi bloke at the yard condemned the installation ! (Thanks) And said to replace it would to keep up with "modern" regulations would need a seperate flue which would make taking the Genoa impossible !!!
So yard are getting me to consider Diesel water heaters
I only really want to run a low powered Marine shower but aren't sure what flow power heater I need.
They are suggesting a Webasto either
DBW 2010 11.6KW heat output - 185W/15.4 Amps - £3k
DBW 2016 16Kw heat output - 215W/17.9 Amps - £2.9K
Full Specs here - http://www.webasto-marine.co.uk/fil...oad/brochures/2009_EN_MARINE_Waterstation.pdf
I will only cruise UK/France in Spring/summer conditions and can't find a guide/way of working out what power I need to heat the water for a simple shower.
So can anyone recommend one out two above ? I would go for the lower electrical draw one if I thought the water would be hot enought
