8.ii Location
• Locate the Water Heater as close to the power supply as possible.
• Locate the heater in a dry location away from the bilge area and standing water.
• Do not install the Water Heater on its side or upside down.
8.iii Mounting Instructions
• Mount this product on a flat, horizontal surface only.
Figure 1 - Mounting the Water Heater
Step 1 Secure mounting brackets to structure with eight #12 minimum screws or ¼" (6.3mm) screws and nuts (See
figure 1.). The minimum mounting surface depth is ½" (12.5mm).
Step 2 Connect the cold water supply and hot water outlet to heater (see figure 2) using ½" N.P.T. fittings or
WX1514 / WX1524B for a Whale® Quick Connect system.
NOTE: Whale® recommends the use of a metal Braided Hose Connector on the hot outlet for connection to standard
flexible pipework.
Step 3 The Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve (provided with tubing) must be oriented so that discharge can exit
no more than 6" (152.3mm) above, or at any distance below the structural floor. This must not be in contact
with any live electrical part.
The Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve is factory installed. The pressure relief limits the pressure to 75
psi (5 bar) +/- 10% and the temperature to 210ºF / 99ºC +/- 10%. For replacement parts see Maintenance
(Section 10) or contact Whale® Support.
8.iv Grounding Instructions - Aluminium Boats
NOTE For aluminium boats the earth of the water heater
must be connected to a separate sacrificial anode or
galvonic isolator.
NOTE Do not connect the earth wire to the negative of
the 12 V circuit.
Step 1 Remove the electrical access panel to gain
access to the earth tab. This is located at the top of the
internal panel and labelled with the earth symbol (see
figure 3).

Step 2 The separate ground / bonding strip must be
connected to the water heater using the supplied green
