Bob,
It would be real easy to use the Sun Shower as an integrated solar
collector. A couple of cheap plastic fittings, a tiny pump which could be
turned on for 30 seconds once an hour or so to move the hot water from the
solar bag to your HW tank, refilling the solar bag with cooler water from
the bottom of your HW tank. My Sun Shower hits scalding temps no time. I'd
store some of those free btu's if I had a HW tank.
Just a thought.

The head on the C&C 32 has a small opening hatch above it. Sun shower hangs
from a cleat and the hose is just the right length. Works so well I never
bothered to hook up the heater until now.

Hey Nutsy,

If you are trying to get hot water from the engine, you'll have put the
engine in gear. If you are moored you can do it with about 1800 RPM's.
Chk engine at normal temp when running under power. That is what the
heat/exchange needs.

The engine is a lot faster than the AC Electric if you want a shower. If
I want a shower when I get in I Drop the sails out side the Harbor
marker and motor in. It cuts the heating time dowm at the slip. Also
allows replacement of fresh water in tank.

Thanks for the info.

It is getting difficult to find low power microwaves suitable for smaller
inverters.
The cheapest ones are the ones with lower power requirements, and the
cheapest ones available keep creeping up in power.
The manufacturers think that people only accept lower power units because of
a purchase cost advantage.

Nutsy,

I have a 500 Watt Micro Wave Oven, which I wouldn't exchange for your
whole sound system. Hamburgers, hot dogs, cooked Crab, Fresh fish fillet
sandwiches. hot coffee or chocolate, soups,etc all in less than 5min.
Baked potatoes in 9. Nachos & Cheese in 30 secs.

Inverter takes less room than that Force Ten BBQ you carry

That's my lesson. Not really necessary but better than all that NOISE
EQUIP in a quite cove.

AND: "I'LL DRINK TO THAT!" (A hot Tardy in two minutes and on the go)

Ahhhh, my Solar Shower, worked rather well on the Mac. Forgot I had one.
Will throw it into the boat next time down.
