Does anyone have any experience with the few electrical powered on-demand hot water heaters that are sold for boats (like the eemax tankless water heater)?
Looks like they run about $400, they appear easy to install, the question is do they work.
On the 36 Sedan there is a 6 gallon hot water heater; same as our old 320. On our old 320 all three of us could take a shower and still have hot water, on this boat my wife barely got done before it got cold. So either the flow rate on the shower head that they installed is too high vs the old one in the 320, or maybe the hotwater heater isn't heating the water hot enough for a lower mix of hot vs cold water which would extend the time available in the shower. Shower ran for four minutes before there was no hot water left on the boat.
Right now the dealer/Sea Ray is looking into whether the hot water heater is doing what it should, but I guess I might be interested in adding something that could potentially give us unlimited hot water...again if they work.
Any experience here?
