My hot water tank was failing as well and I’m in the middle of putting in a replacement — the hard part was getting the old one out of the tight space under the galley.
I decided to go with an on-demand water heater which will either be powered by shore power or an inverter (2000W) while the engine is running. Here’s the one I picked: http://m.rakuten.com/product/263816304?listingid=337903396&adid=29963&sclid=pla_google_Zoro <http://m.rakuten.com/product/263816304?listingid=337903396&adid=29963&sclid=pla_google_Zoro> And here is old and new side-by-side: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15162917/ENTERPRISE/heaters.jpg <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15162917/ENTERPRISE/heaters.jpg> I’ll try to finish it up over the next couple of weeks, but if not, it’ll be a quick winter project.
