Do you have the heater?

 

I ask because they were discontinued last year. 

 

 

 

(Or the very best one, the D61 was, at least.)

These guys say https://gasproducts.co.uk/water-heaters/caravan/morco-primo-6-litre-lpg-caravan-marine-gas-water-heater.html this is a direct replacement though.

Bloody hell that's a big ol' bustard innit!! A new one on me, thanks!

 

I very much doubt it will work as a direct replacement for a D61 as claimed on that website, as the flue hole looks further from the will to me so a new roof hole will be needed overlapping the old hole. Bloody awkward. Not a problem for you though as as you are installing from scratch.

You're right. Looking at the manuals on the Morco website, the D61 flue centreline is 97mm from the wall, with the Primo 6 it is 107mm. So you will need to stretch your existing flue hole by 10mm. Messy.

No, 138mm from the wall according to the manual I downloaded from the site. (107mm from the FRONT of the unit.)

 

So the flue hole needs moving 41mm. DOUBLEMESSY.

The Morco D61 still seems to be available on eBay. Not cheap though. I think I paid about £270 eighteen months ago.

According to Ely boat chandlers (https://www.elyboatchandlers.com/lpg-water-heaters/morco-d61b-lpg-water-heater) it sits just 9mm further forwards. 

It takes the same diameter flue as the D61, the outlet just sits 9mm further out from the wall than the old model.

So who is more likely to know where the flue hole is? The manufacturer, or Ely Chandlers?
