F 33 water heater replacement

Post by soundboy »

hi all
I'm redoing the water system on a freedom 33
current water heater is close to 30 years old and I am wondering if anyone has found a replacement water heater that fits in the same place

I had Raritan heater on my Freedom 28 CK.
The heater is still in production, so there is direct replacement possible

However I learned hard way that the heater was installed into the boat before the deck went in and there is no way to remove old heater without pulling engine out. I cut the heater apart to get it out. I didn't install new heater yet, however there are number of possibilities of every possible shape and size available on market.

I replaced the one in my F-33 with an Isotemp since the dimensions were almost identical. Fit perfectly. I may put some rubber under the straps securing it just for isolation and vibration.
