Thanks Ken Heater will likely be below the level of the hot water tank currently using these hoses. Also the fresh water pump was replaced this summer so should be ok for the task

Should be fine I think. Ken H. Spotted this on their website but your heater should be low enough I'd think: Caution – If your engine application has a freshwater closed cooling system the heater unit should be mounted below the level of the radiator cap. If the heater is mounted above this level it is possible for air to become trapped in-line. If there is air trapped in-line it will not allow the water to circulate efficiently and may cause the engine to overheat. If the heater unit is mounted above the radiator cap it may be necessary to install an in-line air bleed valve at the highest point or an in-line circulation pump.

Back side of heater will be in a locker beneath quarter berth.

Worked well. Will you be drawing the air to be heated out of the bilge? Or will it draw from the cabin? Either seems to work fine, the first helps dry the bilge, the latter heats the cabin more quickly. Ken H.

Am planning to install on forward facing knee wall of quarter berth facing nav station. Am thinking that I will rout the hose currently going to water heater to this heater first and from there to hot water heater.
