Hot Water Heater Replacement 43DC

[Trojan]

The heater is below the dinette , which is port side fwd of the engine room bulkhead. The heater is alongside the hull and rests on a plywood platform. The heater I put in is 15 1/5 inches high and I had to take about 3/8" of wood to get it in.

OK, I don't have a dinette in mine. good luck.

Mine is also in front of the starboard engine. LOTS of height available

The heater I replaced does not appear to be OEM but the flared copper connections tell me that this is where Hatteras put the water heater. I wonder what the original heater in that small space was.

I called Whirlpool and they said the side plugs are removable. They were half right. With some not so gentle persuasion one plug came out, the other remains immovable. I am going to take it back to Lowes.

Fred, with the Bosch unit on its side how high is it? I would rather keep the heater where the pump and plumbing is. My height limit is 15 inches and can gain an inch by cutting the plywood decking underneath the heater. Width and depth are around 20"

I have Amazon prime and can have it shipped one day for $4.
Thanks

I left the relief valve on the side. Figured if it needed to it would vent there just as well. Never had one vent on any house or boat. had a couple leak because of sediment.
