    Water Heaters.

    Why not buy a different brand hot water heater the same physical size ? With a better construction and warranty? A normal plumber can help you select a unit to fit. Will check if the USCG has a safety code for Hot Water heaters.

    Voltage rectifier

    My boating friends & shops KNOW all our stuff is NON American made. All American cars use parts from around the world. China builds to whatever quality a cheap American company wants to pay for the part.

    Voltage rectifier

    It costs less than a dollar to make the rectifiers. Greedy, profit crazy people are raising the prices to hundreds of dollars. Our simple rectifiers can be from cheaper companies.
