Quick Nautic Water Heather

[carlager]

We have a Quick Nautic Water Heater in our Oceanis 36cc.

The heather is 13 years old and works without problems.

Wondering if anyone can guide me on when to replace it

When it leaks, the heating element fails, or you are off on that once in a life time trip. Otherwise leave it alone, other than cleaning the water supply out once a year.

Replace it when you can no longer maintain it (economically/practically).

If you use it with water that does not come from a RO process (as in a watermaker) you may want to consider adding an an anode to protect the heater from galvanic corrosion. In the models I am familiar with, this requires buyingva new heating element that can take an anode.
Newer Quick heaters come with anodes from the factory. I understand that this is to deal with corrosion problems in boats that use hard water from shore sources.
