DSK Probably won't do a hydro, but, I think I will replace the existing 125 psi relief valve with 50 psi or less. I'm just not thrilled with the widow-maker under my bunk. The tank may be safe at 125#, I'm just saying. . . Scout |

At least mine does, there's no temp control. -- Scott Vernon Plowville Pa _/)__/)_/)_ |

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. Scotty |

Scotty 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. Scout |
