Hey everyone! I am brand new to the sight as well as being a brand new owner of a 1983 E-381 I'm looking to install a water heater and would love some recommendations. It's just me and my dog living aboard and am in a marina that has shower facilities, but would love the option of taking a shower when I take her out.
I briefly considered a tankless system, but after looking at the power requirements it just didn't make sense for the available power I currently have onboard. Unless there's a brand new special low power consumption one out there that someone knows about??? So, pretty much only looking at the standard type water heater. (Electric or combo with engine) I only have the CNG tank for the stove and don't think I'd consider any gas type heater.
I've attached a photo of the platform where there supposedly was one previously. It's wired and plumbed to the area as well. The platform is 20"w /17"d/ 20"h.
Looking forward to seeing your suggestions! Thanks!
