For no real money you could lay out 50-100ft of dark hose on the cabin top and use a spare galley pump to see how much heat is added to the existing setup.
And then where will I put my 9 x 260w solar panels?

100ft of 3/4 hose might be enough volume of water by itself for a shower.
It probably would be, but then what happens when others want a shower?
What happens when it raining for day or 3?
I'll need to fire up an electric HWS right?
