Seaward hw heater disassembled - pics from camera phone
"Scout" wrote in message ps.com... Cool! I'm guessing you're not getting enough of this kind of thing at work? You're putting it to a hydro test too, right? 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. . . Yours heats from the engine also, right? A word of caution, the water gets VERY hot. At least mine does, there's no temp control. -- Scott Vernon Plowville Pa _/)__/)_/)_ |

Thanks Scotty and Katy! http://sports.webshots.com/photo/270...97509592nUedvY Scout 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. 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 |

Mine stays warm overnight, at least. It should stay hot for 24 hours, but as it turns out, the Seaward is not particularly good. The PS review came out a month after mine was "sealed in" - there were several that were quite hot the next day. Running the engine without load does heat it up, but not much. Mine doesn't get over 150 degrees unless were really running hard under load - then its goes up to 165. Fortunately, we don't need much hot water in the summer. I don't think I would ever consider running off the batteries - They would be so depleted enough I'd have to then run the engine, so why not do both at the same time. |

I guess my main problem is I don't run the motor long enough. SBV |
