Marine Direct Australia is still in business after 20 years and has all of the original Woodys parts available.



The only change is that the elements are now 240 volt 1000 watt. This was done so the marina power posts did not have such a large loads and would pop the circuit breaker. Also much easier on smaller gensets. 110 volt elements are a special order, but very few 110 volt water heaters were ever sold.


The original earthing/bonding wire supplied by Woody's and that attaches to the thermostat bracket needs to be replaced with tinned wire for safety reasons. Woodys only used a copper wire which corroded. There are full details on parts, earthing and system bleeding on their website.
