It is a fully powered vented unit installed in cockpit lazarette. That means
unlike the Chinese units it has a flu, vented out topside near stern through a
Fetus water tight fitting.
The units have redundant solenoid to prevent propane leaks if ignition fails.
Etc etc. Look to next practical sailor for update or my letter re t his unit.
Check out website.

Bill,
Interesting. The latest issue of Practical Sailor discusses the risks of
in-demand propane heaters.
In what ways have you minimized the threats of propane leaks and carbon
monoxide buildup?
All the best,
Edd

FWIW, I installed a PrecisionTemp on demand propane hot water heater three
years ago. A fully power vented unit. Has worked flawlessly. At the time I
think it was only ABYC approved unit.
Check at PrecisionTemp.com. no affiliation. Expensive, but........

Josh,
It totally rusted thru from the inside. It had a life of 30 years. Not too
bad I think.

Tom,
What exactly died? Unless the tank has rusted through, most of the parts
are replaceable. Heating element, thermostat, anode, and T&P valve
(pressure relief). I just finished rebuilding mine and feel quite
confident that it will last considerably longer for only about $100 in
repair parts. That's pretty good considering they are upwards of $1200
new. Follow the link for some pictures.
