- 1978 36' Universal Marine Aft Cabin Trawler
I have to replace the water heater in my 1978 36' Universal Trawler; however, it's so rusted out I can't find any information about it. Seems about the size of a 5 gallon bucket but a little slimmer and longer so I'm guess it's a 6 gallon. My surveyor wrote that it was an 11 gallon but frankly given the size I don't think that's physically possible. I was hoping someone here might recognize it. Pics below.
I was thinking of replacing it with a 6 gallon Kuuma as I don't see anything available new today that looks like a direct replacement so I'll have to re-plumb things a bit no matter what I get.
