While I have it apart, might as well take care of that

problem. Thanks

You don't heat off the batteries, do you? I figure the temp
needs to get high off the engine because once you shut down
it needs to stay hot on it's own for a while. Mine stays
warm overnight, at least.

The hw heater element draws 1500 watts and my inverter is good for 1000
watts only. So at anchor I'd run the diesel if I really need hot water.
I'm thinking of adding a fan coil unit for "free" heat when availble or
so I can run the ac and the fan coil to dehumidify when it's really
wet.
