Does your plumbing allow for use of hot water from the opposite side of the boat?
Any suggestions would be appreciated....or thread 'title' if there are any other such threads on getting hot water to both sides of catamaran

the iso valve is on the cold water side of the hws. as you know, when you open a hw tap, cold water pushes into the hw tank to pressurise the hw line. if cold water cannot get into the tank, hw cannot get out.
yes the plumbing is such that hw flows to every tap on the boat, irrespective of which
hull the tap is in and which tank the hw is coming from.
i'm not able to produce a schematic for you of how the lines run, but any plumber will be able to do it.
cheers,
