My tip is to buy a new Harken MK IV. However, I understand budget
constraints.
I have a MKIII Unit 1 on Touche'. It took me about an hour to disassemble
my MKIII last year.
Fortunately, the MKIII doesn't have the dreaded roll pins to hold the
extrusions together.

You might try a couple of the search engines that look at local classifieds
and craigslists. yakaz.com, claz,org, etc. You might turn up a unit that
way.

That's what I like about the Isotemps. The flexible mounting options.

It should be an easy install. Just bolt the bracket under the

My first boat didn't have a shower or pressure water. I bought a 2.5
gallon pump up garden sprayer and spliced a kitchen sink sprayer on the end
of the hose. Pumped it up and voila!, a cockpit shower for rinsing off.

If you or your crew balk at the idea of baby wipes, they do make adult

I was cleaning a salvaged generator heat exchanger prior to listing it on

two broken impeller blades fell out. Just another confirmation that broken

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.
Steve,
We're fairly miserly on Touche'.
However, if we're in port we have the option to hook up to dock water.
That's a quick and simple upgrade you might consider. Just tee into the
discharge of your pump and install a city water inlet on the outside of
your cockpit coaming. (Be sure to turn

Are engine gauges universal? Yes and no. The gauges are matched to the

Simply put, if you use a thru-hull that is open to the air, i.e. drain or
scupper, for a high volume pump such as a wash down pump, the pump might
suck air. Using a thru-hull that is not open to the air is better.
If you use a sink drain, you can always put a stopper in it.

unit I installed in1999. Sent it back to Mermaid for repair twice in 8
years. Switched to a Cruisair 16K reverse cycle 6 or 7 years ago and sold
the Mermaid on eBay. The Cruisair has run without a burp since install.

I have encountered only one marina on the Gulf Coast that has 50A/250V for
the primary service. That's Biloxi Small Craft Harbor. It's got a lot of

high 70's. That's with a head start. That is, if it was on all night and

Steve,
Holes in the hull aren't an issue as long as they're plugged. :)
Seriously, there's no reason to avoid drilling holes in a hull if they are
properly done and not too close to each other. Touche' has 11 thruhulls.
No biggie.

Are you opposed to a new tank? Granted, a pinhole leak on the top may not
indicate more problems but it would make me think about the overall
integrity of the tank.
