Hi Morgan: ....good point about the fiberglass insulation! ..any problems marrying up the Kuuma fittings with the existing plumbing? Regards, Frank From: C400@Catalina400-445.groups.io

I don't have pictures but once the headliner is dropped everything is very accessible. Wiring is led from the lazarette.

Yes, I agree that would be almost impossible (for me at least). Every boat is a little different, so you may have slightly more room than I did. I used my 11 gallon tank a lot last summer, with

Take TONS of pics please! You wouldn’t believe what I was quoted to replace my rigging… And when I asked if it was possible to replace one shroud at a time, instead of having the mast pulled, the

Hey all, Does anyone with a MKII have photos of the underside of the cockpit after the pan/headliner in the aft stateroom has been dropped? I am looking for how accessible the steering gear and

Got all my bits & pieces ordered...Sta-Lok swageless fittings throughout. I'll be doing one-string-at-a-time over the month of July with the mast in place. Should be lots of cussing and dangling

Hi Jim: Your hull number is #335. My hull number is #247. I wonder if some modifications were made to make it easier to remove the old tank without taking off the outer casing. …your thoughts?

Hi Morgan: My guess, after reading your responses and looking at your photos, is that I’d need to remove the outer casing of the new tank before inserting the new water tank. Then, attach the

Yes, on three sides. The bottom stayed on. I can’t remember if I unscrewed it or if there were rivets I had to pull through. Since I was disposing of it, I wasn’t very delicate with its removal.

Hi Morgan: Did the aluminum casing come out in one piece? Regards, Frank, #247 From: C400@Catalina400-445.groups.io <C400@Catalina400-445.groups.io>On Behalf Of Morgan Barrieau via

I just replaced mine in April. Took out the 20 year old (and way too big) 11 gallon Seaward and replaced it with a 6 gallon Kuuma. It was $316 on fleabay. I originally wanted the SS model until I

Ditto what Morgan said. But we were able to get the 20-gal tank out without removing the casing. But it was a bit of pain to get the old one out. The 11-gal Kuuma went in pretty easy. 1 day job.

Ditto what Morgan said. Cheers, Jim “Kashmir” (#335)

I’m sure it’s possible, you will just need to get creative getting it through the opening. The 31” is the tricky one. There should be room once it’s in, but that is why I had to remove the

Hi Morgan: This is really helpful. The photos are great! Thanks so much. …just wondering if the Whale / Seaward #HF2200 can be used to replace the old Seaward #HF2000. The dimensions of the

I had to remove the wood door frame, shelf and all of the plumbing under the sink. It was very tight, so I ended up also removing the aluminum casing on the old water heater and was able to pull it

Hi Morgan: Thanks so much for your quick response. Did you have any difficulties removing the old tank from under the sink? Regards, Frank From: C400@Catalina400-445.groups.io
