I am going to order a new boat heater today! Does the heater have a thermostat?

I was working on winterizing my boat, and the stupid seacock handle broke. This is a perfect example of an easy job going wrong. I live in Louisville, Ky and was planning on keeping my boat in the water this year. Questions: Should I try and fix this in the water? Any idea why the seacock was...

Hello All, The 115 Volt AC circuits are dead. I checked the shore power, and it is on. I also checked the fuse. Does anyone have any additional advice on what might be the cause of the problem?
