We are owners of a 2004 35 open with twin Cummins.
As we extend our cruising range, one of the things that limits us is drinking water. Many of the marinas in the Gulf Islands have limited or no water to spare even if you are using moorage or buying fuel. Our previous boat had a water maker that made this a moot point.
Has anybody ever installed a water maker on a 35 Tiara. If so, where and what type. Are there other options for putting more water storage on board?
I own a 2000 3500 Open and it has a small water maker installed, 5-10 GPH depending on salinity. It was made by Village Marine. Works ok but we rarely , ok never, use it but probably should when we go to the bahamas.

The low pressure water pump is located in the rear bilge area for raw water, then up to a couple of filters that are mounted basically over the starboard transmission. The high pressure pump is located forward of the starboard batteries, and the high pressure membrane is located/mounted on the starboard side engine air intake box. It is pretty much out of the way but the high pressure pump is difficult to work on being stuff so far starboard and forward, but then again there is not much room anywhere else really.
