hot water shower install??

[crghou]

what would be the best way to get a hot water shower in my boat? I know on the dash there is a button for it, but how hard is it to put one in, what is needed and how do you do it?

I installed one in my '02 air a couple years back. It was not hard, but did take a little while to get all the hoses routed and looking nice. I bought the shower from www.go2marine.com. The wires were back in the engine compartment where the pump would have been installed. I just hooked up to those wires, ran the hoses and installed the control valves. I don't have all my pics here, but here is one of the valves installed in the trunk.

you dont have a parts list or write up or know of anyone do you?

I'm pretty sure there was one somewhere on here. Search for shower install and you should find it. Parts were pretty minimal, here is a quick list of what I remember.

-Aquatik shower (aka HeaterCraft) (includes shower, hose, and control valves)
-extra hose if you need it (I needed extra hot and cold hose, but I have a DD)
-I put a brass ball valve on the engine block for the hot hose, that way I could turn it off if needed (you could do that on the cold side also. now that I think of it, I think I will)
-I needed a block to mount the pump on, you might not since you have a 210
-misc stainless fasteners/screws (what you will need will depend on your install)
-I think I used a couple of marine grade wire couplers to wire in the pump (crimp connectors with adhesive shrink tubing)

If you can't find the write-up let me know and I'll see if I can do a quick one.

One last note, if you need any extra parts/hose for the shower the guys at HeaterCraft are great to work with. I wanted the flush mount valves so they exchanged them for me. :grin:

if you could maybe come up with a parts list and a quick run down of how you did everything that would be great. How much did it cost you?

And where i would find all the wires and how to hook it all up.

thanks
