Thanks Pete, wouldn't do to be asking for the last one if you've got a speech impediment

WHAT?, I mean pardon? Crikey, how smart are you guys. Well you know what, I am going to take your word for it. This is the other stuff from the spec, Heating Status Heating time <=15 Seconds; Over Temperature <=2?; Stability Time:<=15 Seconds Connection Pipe Specs Water Inlet: G1/2" Pipe; Water Outlet: G1/2" Pipe; Gas Inlet:G1/2" Pipe; Rated Heat Input Power(KW) 24KW Rated Water Output(?T=25?)L/Min 12L Well, there was also the dimensions of the packing they will send it in but even I figured you don't need that bit Thanks again, at least I know what I am looking for, well, the 3 to 116psi bit anyway. cheers again Janey

Hey, I think I got the one your dad blew up I have the manual too, all curling yellow sellotape and oily thumbprints. It doesn't actually look a lot like the pictures in the manual, I think people have adapted it over the years. It is extremely noisy but in my ignorance when I bought the boat I thought it was supposed to sound like that I know more about sailing boats, actually, thats not true anymore. Putting another engine in is certainly high on my list now I have completed the inside renovations. cheers J

Wow, great responses, thanks everyone. The existing pump is a Jabsco. I have checked the filter and hoses, all clear and unkinked but don't have a multimeter to check connections. Will have to get one anyway cos I am sure it will come in useful and I love an excuse for gadgets Am learning all the time with this boat. I have looked at the spec for the new heater and this is what it says, Suitable Water Pressure(Mpa)0.02~~0.8Mpa To be honest I can do loads of do it your self things mainly carpentry and common sense but am not very well up on this sort of thing. Any figures other than ft and inches in measurements send my brain into a mush. Love ebay so will check that out. cheers everybody.

thanks Dave, the pump is directly in front of tank so shouldn't be any difference to yours, trouble is, and not to be rude or put too fine a point on it I could wee faster than the water comes out of the taps, don't think thats right, or am I expecting too much? Just as a matter of interest what engine did you have in yours? Mine a bit feeble against the tide and wind on the Broads, I get overtaken by ducks frequently and if the wind is strong have been known to drift sideways down the river, slightly disconcerting for the fibreglass holiday boats who would undoubtedly come off worst. cheers J

Hello everyone. I need some help with my water system. The water heater and pump have all died recently, the pump was as old as the boat which is a 1971 30' Springer and the boiler was rather ancient too. I have ordered a NEW 12L GAS LPG PROPANE TANKLESS INSTANT HOT WATER HEATER BOILER. The water pressure was pretty pathetic to start with and although the new water heater is built for low pressure I want to get the best possible. The pump is situated just by the water tank in the bow and the boiler is about 23' astern of it. What is the best pump for me to buy,bearing in mind I don't have too much money but want to get it right. Thanks. Janey
