Installing Water Heater w/ closed loop 8.1 engine?

[mckaras]

I'm looking for a bit of help on how to install a water heater with a closed loop cooling engine and what kind of water heater I'll need? I'm looking at two different Kuuma : KUUMA-11812 and KUUMA-11811 (The one I've replaced w/ water cooled engines)

What would I need to install it and make it work? My regal commodore originally had an instant water heater which is now discontinued and they no longer carry marine grade instant water heaters. I figured I may as well replace it with a traditional one since I have read only about complaints with the instant water heaters.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to tap into the recirculating pump on the engine to heat the domestic water from the engine. Additionally, You'll be able to run from shore power.

You will need fittings and hoses to tap into the recirculating pump. Also a good idea to put in a couple of shut-off valves
