    Good morning all: I'm presently in the process of purchasing a 1972 35-2. So far the only real problem the surveyor has come across is a leaky hot water tank which he believes to be aluminum?

    Hot water expansion tank? something else? necessary?

    I have removed the hot water heater from the system. There"s a square tank that seems to me to be an expansion tank in the water circuit on the motor, I would suspect as part of the hot water system in the circuit. I am thinking of removing it also and would like to see what you guys think...

    Hot water tank drainage or removal

    Hi Everyone, I've been busy preparing my 28+ for the winter. Does anyone have a preferred way of draining the hot water tank? The tank is rather loose in it's mount (another jfix-it job to do:)), so I can shake it a bit. It doesn't feel like there's water in the tank, but I want to be sure...

    On-demand Hot Water Heater

    Has anyone found a propane on demand water heater suitable for installation on a boat? Add a water heater to the long list of systems that's not operating on my E-38. Since I have a propane stove, (of course not working yet due to leaky valve) I thought it would be better to install one of...

    Propane demand hot water heaters?

    Hello All, There are a few Niagaras and a Nonsuch at my yacht club that have "Paloma" brand demand hot water heaters fired by propane. They were installed by the factory. If you haven't seen one of these units they are pretty nifty. They mount on a vertical surface and heat water directly as...

    Hello All, I never motor very far, maybe a half hour or so at a time so I never really work the Universal 5432 in my E38 very hard or long. Well, I had to motor for about 1.5hrs on Monday to get where I was going and the engine ran pretty hot. Normally I don't run much above 2200rpm as I don't...

    Smelly water from hot water tank

    The hot water coming from the hot water tank stinks. I end up not using it because I am fearful of bacteria. If you have resolved this problem, I'd love to hear about it.
