Thanks everyone for your advice. I have booked a Morco D61B to be fitted by a very nice gas safe engineer (with lpg on boats ticket). On the 13th. For £300 materials, £150 labour and £90 VAT. We have also sorted out our boat insurance and our CRT license so we should be on the water really soon.

I understamd all too well about someone having to pass a specific ticket. I never said I was fully qualified. Currently I have only passed the architecture degree. I am working on my postgraduate part 2. I have been studying part time while working in an architects office as an assistant since 2006. And then when I finish pt 2, I will have to do part 3.

He said that cold tap water with fairy liquid is enough to kill the bacteria present on dirty dishes. Legionnaires is obviously an issue. Thus the kettle. But anyway. I think having absorbed everyones advice the simplest and most cost effective solution is to just install a morco. Obviously by a gas safe engineer

Cheers. I will let the guy who invented the engine know that the horse works fine. Thank you all for your advice all the best Fergus

Yes I have a degree in architecture.
-
Yes I had found that one. It looks quite good. But I wonder if I put it on the roof with enough black tubing and a quilt I could keep some water hot enough for a morning shower.
-
On a tangent, has anyone found a solar or wind powered kettle?
-
we don't plan to store hot water, just cold water in the tank at the front (we havent launched her yet and I assume we get access to cold drinking water as part of the license) that we make hot when we need it.

its probably just one hot morning shower for the mrs and a cold one for me each day
-
We have no radiators, but we have a Chappee 5kw solid fuel stove at the front and an Isuzu 3 Cyl engine at the rear with a bathroom in the middle. Hot water use wise, I have it on good authority (a friend who got a biology degree) that you don't need to use hot water to kill germs just fairy liquid to break the surface of their cells. So its mostly just a nice shower... for two... in the morning and maybe the evening or afternoon... of a weekend

Fair enough

From your experience would you say that an electric water heater is just too greedy on the electrics? I have found this on the ebay, is it likely to be s**t? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Crownette-Automatic-Continuous-Water-Heater/221835325370?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3Dda6a5fccf0df4420a9bff59b3345f287%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D221835325370

Thank you everyone for your comments thus far. The holy grail sounds good, sounds a bit small to bathe in, but perhaps the burning bush could work as the heater? Although it probably wouldnt work for an Atheist like me The previous on was imported via Germany if that helps... It was a very good shower but would have to be used outside. In all seriousness though I agree that since we have the system in place a reliable gas one is probably the best option. So is Morco considered the best then? Do they have internal battery iginition? or do they have to be wired in? And what are we looking at price wise? Thanks again

Ok everyone we have a problem and I need to harvest the power of the hive mind... Problem: Instant and continuous Hot water Notes: 1) Preferably without having to use LPG (can of worms, as we had an instantaneous water heater from China but it was cooking the bathroom ceiling, and we would rather avoid having mess around with the gas or pay too much) 2) Preferably without having to use the electrickery (obviously we all have a limited battery) 3) I have thought about a long black coiled tube on the roof (solar hot water) but I am worried that the heat will run out quite quickly 4) I have thought of a kettle element in a watering can Anyone got any other more unusual ideas/ experience we would be very grateful? All the best Fergus
