5 gallons
How large do you think your water heater
should be? I have a 5 gallon but I think I must double the effort. Joe |
Oh, come clean already!

Ours if 5 gallons but since we mainly use it to do the dishes and very
rarely use it for showers, that's all we need. If you're not actively cruising where there aren't showers, why bother? Doesn't your marina have showers? "Joe" wrote in message om... How large do you think your water heater should be? I have a 5 gallon but I think I must double the effort. Joe |
you never anchor out?

Joe,
If I sailed where you do, I'd take advantage of the Sun with a Solar Heater for showers. The 5 Gal is small but it takes up enough space onboard. Nice to have but think twice about enlarging. Ole Thom |

Doesn't your marina have showers? Yes the marina has showers but its a long walk. Its nice to have a long hot shower and not run out of hot water. We live aboard so we use hot water all the time.

Joe wrote: I've looked at them but I hear they take lots of power to work. Who'd you hear that from, Dick Cheney? They are more efficient than tank type water heaters. Lots of boats have propane instant water heaters, they work just fine. Take up less space, less weight (not that this is an issue for you), less likely to corrode through. The downside is that they can't be plumbed to take advantage of engine heat the way most tank heaters are, and they need to be well vented and need an exhaust outlet. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
We have a ten gallon water heater but seldom use it here in Mexico.
Typically we shower on deck with the solar shower when at anchor and use the shore showers when in port. I especially don't wash my hair down below because it's grown pretty long and mucks up the drain. Barb S/V Arabella (Joe) wrote: How large do you think your water heater should be?

yeah...but you forget we sail in fresh water...just jump in with a bar of
soap...and the soap will actually lather....\ "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... you never anchor out? SV "katysails" wrote in message ...

I've got a little cove with a small water fall. I use to strip down and
shower. A couple of years ago I dinked in and on the way up the path; Lo and behold, there was a portapoti set up by the County. Needless to say, I no longer strip down. Still haven't met any one but I've been told that it is a favorite spot for the Sea Kayakers. Ole Thom |

Depends on how many people and how long away from fresh water supply (or if
you have a good watermaker.) The last time I was able to do some serious long distance sailing I allowed one gallon per day for everything. Usually used less except down near the equator. But I think if just hob nobbing along the coast sort of visiting the neighbors...I would want more amenities. Luckily the new boat came with both types of water heaters but the main one is 3 gal. When doing serious sailing you really don't have time to be a dilletante about it just basic keeping clean. Anyway that's just my take on it and it served me well in the past. M.

We do have a solar shower(black Bag for deck) we do use some, however when it works best you really want a cold shower that time off year. The 5 Gal is small but it takes up enough space onboard. Nice to have but think twice about enlarging. Yelp I do not have the height needed for a 10 gallon and would have to put two 5 gallon tanks side by side, either that or reduce the size of the sail locker. Joe Ole Thom |
They're not Ganadian geese...they're Canada Geese....
