In looking for ways to unclutter the engine room in order to increase access and visibility to critical systems, I am about to remove a 600 gpd Village Tec water maker. It is in good working order but based on how we have cruised and expect to cruise I feel like the space will be more useful than the water maker. With ability to carry 500 gallons of fresh water it seems like this would make a week between ports pretty conservative.
Being less experienced than most of you I would appreciate comments on how critical you view a water maker on a trawler or is this strictly a personal preference issue?
I look forward to the wisdom from this group.
