Dennis,
THANK YOU for the link to the Isotemp. Upon your reccomondation and a review
in Practical Sailor I plan to but one to replace my Raritan that rusted thru a
couple of years ago. By the way, right now it is cheaper to buy indirect thru
Isotemp than Defender - Go figure! Also, the Isotemp I think will fit more
easily in the sail locker than any other model. Still have to do some
measuring before ordering.

Guess I can't help but notice the incidence of rusted out water heaters
mentioned here. Some brands don't use stainless. Hence the shorter
service lives.
For me, stainless tank. Period. The new Isotemp SPA series water heaters
keep the stainless tank but switch to a polypropelene exterior. $450 for
the 4 gallon model. Well worth the $200 difference over the Kuuma and
better materials than some well known brands in my opinion. Every time I
"cheap" it, I end up wishing I hadn't. It's a lesson we sailors never seem
to learn.
