Mike,
Different boat etc., but… You want to have the heater as close to the engine as possible. I assume that the heater will be heated with the engine coolant (and possibly with shorepower). The difficult plumbing is from the engine to the water heater and back. And you want to limit the amount of extra coolant that you need (i.e. the length of the hoses). Plumbing to the head is usually much easier, because you just run a flexible pipe (PEX?) and that can go just about anywhere. Also to consider is how you are going to deal with the water coming out of the shower (sump, pump, drain to the bilge etc.).

You will love the C&C 34 better under sail. The hot water heater on my 34 is at the forward end of the cockpit locker to the right of the engine just as you suggest. I am guessing it was original equipment. Cannot begin to help on how to plumb to the head/shower. Ed Briarpatch C&C 34 1981 New Orleans, La.

Just bought a 1978 34' C&C, she is Red and is quite a rig...previous owner was a casual club racer and took exceptional care of the boat. you will have to excuse my ignorance (on sailing) since I am moving up from a 22' OdayMH...... I have been following the discussions that you guys are having and it is all very, very educational....and since I bought the boat on the day it was hauled for the winter (Had to inspect her first) I haven't been able to mess around with the sailing parts yet......just for FYI since you guys have been discussing it.....this 34' has 10 winches and everything leads back to the 8 around the cockpit (4 on cabin top and 4 on cockpit combing), the two by the mast are set for the babystay track and one for the spinnaker halyard.... My question......the Admiral needs hot water for her shower......looks as if the best and only place for it is on the starboard side of the engine (atomic4 rebuilt 2010 130hrs)...with access to the fresh water cooling system.....gonna be some piping to do since the water tank and pump are under the port side cabin bunk and the head is on the starboard....... Any other ideas? or is that where I should put it? Thanks, Mike 1978 34' Skywalker Southold, NY
