Replacement of Hot water heater
#8
(04-08-2017, 09:01 PM)ReelMagic Wrote: As your water heater produces hot water in 2 ways; one via a cal-rod electric heater using 110volts and the second using the hot water from the fresh water engine cooling.....Need to know if you have hot water after running the boat for an hour or so.... If you do then the cal-rod electric heating system is not working correctly. Check the circuit breaker for the hot water heater under the stair on the main circuit panel... Make sure its on and providing 110 volts to the water heater... If power is going to the heater then I would guess the cal-rod itself is NG....... Would need to replace if its the cal-rod.....BTW if you have turned the Hot Water heater circuit breker "ON" with NO water in the hot water tank it's a strong possibility you burned the cal-rod out..... The cal-rod gets very hot very fast and without it being submerged in water it will burn out.... M2C


Thank you sir, i know there was water in the tank........ just a little odd, because it worked last year great, and don't recall having to run the boat to heat the water, but i was thinking about that,......
checked the breaker, seemed to be all good.
Can i replace the cal rod? And if so how do i do that??? Thanks much for the help!
