Has anyone used this vent on a boat?

sorry haven't installed this vent yet. but I would believe it would work as long as its not placed where water will constantly splash on it.

I would advise to be careful before purchasing this unit. It requires specialized venting for the exhaust system, hard to find and expensive. Not sure what temp. it reaches, might look at going with an RV style water heater.

Don't know about your boat but my 20 foot bowrider cover fits perfectly. The major problem with the cover is it fits too perfectly and does no vent the moisture. After one winter and part of the summer the underside of the cover was totally covered with mildew which is too extensive to remove. Taylor should have provisions for venting.

I wouldn't recommend using without running the vent.it's really simple if u are handy

I think is would work fine. It does make some noise when it's running,but not much more than a regular vent hood.

We never ran ours more than 10 to 15 hours a day, when it was warmer and drier and never at night or during the rain. I inserted it in a square frame of wood with the appropriate size hole and inserted it to blow in or draw out, and ran it all last summer. We do not use it in the winter as we close off all the vent openings. I do not know your circumstances for running it, but maybe it would be a different story if the application was "continuous" as opposed to "sporadic". For me: So Far So Good.

have to consider the carbon monoxide threat!!! But I used a dryer vent and fit it to the exhaust port and hung it from a window. It's a bit too risky, and I have a draager meter that gives me ppm, so i felt ok temporarily, but the box is pretty clear that it's made for outdoor use only. I remember seeing a few other posts where some people we experimenting with venting it, the problem is getting a tight seal. I would say no!

No but I got a sprayer from menaeds To spray the top of my boat like a bug or deck sprayer. This spray is AWEsome We gave a bad spot in the canvas and not a drop of. A leak. I will buy again next year !

Very hard to say, but presumably yes - it's certainly better than NOT having it. More importantly though isn't temperature, it's the fact that the vent helps with wind - it's not a sail in the wind with the vent, since air can travel through it. That fact has been very helpful with my setup.

Not sure about boat, but there is a hole in the bottom where a piece of 1 1/4"PVC pipe will fit into. Secure pipe to piece of wood and may be use sandbag to prevent from blowing over.

I have not used it on vents. I surface mounted mine. The surface mount option has worked great.

If it's recommended to have stainless venting use it. I did. Don't go cheap.

I have not had any problems so far. We have had it on the boat several times already and so far so good.

I'm not quite sure how you would mount this on a pipe? Are you talking about using a pipe as a vent?

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

Yes, the unit can be vented through an outside wall with the recommended Rinnai/Ubbink vent piping. I would recommend obtaining the Rinnai RU80 Installation manual, (available for download), on the Rinnai website. Proper venting is discussed in great detail as is other important installation requirements.Good luck with your install, this is a quality water heating devise, installed properly.

Bernard, not positive if you can do so. Best to contact the company. If you look online, you should be able to locate customer service. I vented ours through the window and it worked very well. My guess would be that you would need a good seal around the vent tube to do so.
