Hi 3 inches = 76.2 mm 0.5 inch = 12.7 mm Cheers

Be careful on an old unit. Parts can break. There may be an anode rod in the tank. It will look like a plug but usually is marked as such on or around it. Remove it and replace with like size plug. It may shorten the life of the heater a little but it will cut down on the stink.

A test light may tell you if you have power available. Light like this corrode easily and break connections usually where the bulb goes in. Remove the bulb and clean. If you get it working, put a little dielectric grease (auto parts store) on the contacts to help slow further corrosion

Does it not have an auto float switch

Is there power to the unit,if so unit must be us

the fuse is only a circuit protecter, it will not cause your problem. have you tried replacing filter? check voltage at pump for correct volts. my system has 2 wires, 1 is low speed, 1 is high speed.

This unit is only 110v and gallon, your not going to get alot of hot water but you could check what temp it's set for. You might have a bad element. If you have the haet exchanger part of it hooked up, you could run your engine and get a better supply of hot water.

Be sure cold supply line is going in bottom fitting and hot line attached to top fitting. Any by-pass or vlaves attached to lines in between should be closed. A check valve at top (hot) between tank fitting and hot line is usually recommended as well.

OK this systems has a safety system and it will not let gas pass threw without the pilot light working correctly. first off near the pilot light there is a thermal coupling. this sends a signal to the main valve to open up. this thermal coupling need to get to a set temp. (hot) this is probably why you don't hear the gas. check if there is a manual bypass valve for maintenance. check if you can light the pilot rite away if you power the system on. it also has a time delay so the pilot won't give gas out if not fired on. sometimes there is a manual nozzle you have to press and hold till the gas pilot warms up the thermal coupling. hope i help some. thank you.

Never buy a trailer with the same capacity as the weight of your boat! This can be very dangerous! Instead, make sure the trailer's capacity is at least twice that of the weight of the boat, all your gear, and the boat's motor.

Small yachts, also known as Silboats or Cabin Cruisers are 20-40 feet. There are of course larger Yachts that can get to over 100 feet, also known as Mega Yachts.

I would clean the fuel filters and empty the water retainer filter then do some testing.
