The only suggestion I would have is to check the temp rating of the tubing and fittings. Typical domestic hot water is only 120-130F, and maybe up to 140F. But if you have hot water heated by your engine while underway, it will reach engine temp of 180-190F which is much hotter than typical. I have seen some of the quick connect fittings only rated to 150F, and know of people who have had failures with them.

Rated up to 200F, however also with a max pressure of 80 psi
