Install Hot Water Shower

[EXCAVATOR]

I have a 1988 Mariah with a 351 in it. I'd like to install a hot water shower so this fall we can still wakeboard. Any info or suggestions would be great. Thanks EXCAVATOR

I installed one in my boat this year, it was pretty straight forward. Honestly, I have not used it much at all. I live in Nor Cal, and we started using the boat in March, and even then did not use it much. I am going camping this weekend with the boat and I probably will use it for showers.

After spending the money on one, not sure if I would do it again. Its a nice to have item, but definitely not a necessity. We use the pop out heaters ALL THE TIME, especially in the late evenings and early mornings. Those are the greatest upgrade in my opinion for heat on the boat.

For Skiing in the fall, I would recommend a good wetsuit/drysuit over the hot water shower. Although, I have heard of some people filling there wetsuits with warm water before they get in, this would be a little help.

I heard someone say they were working on sourcing a heater core for like $120 or something like that for DIY hot air heater? That would be so awesome.
