Thought I had burst a water line over the winter.Found it to be inside the water heater.Prob the orig one so it was long overdue.Cant seem to find exact duplicate.Mine has fresh water and elect connections facing aft just inches from the inside stern.The oposite side facing fore has the heat exchange hoses.its shaped like a cube 13"x13"x16 . Anyone replaced one before?? Charlie

Most like to find one just like being removed so there is no need to reroute hoses or electric. In any case the hardest part is removing the screws that hold it in place. If hose routing needs to be changed its easy enough, just cost more for the material needed.

Is it a 6 gallon?

Know what ya mean about the long arms. They put them in before the boat top goes on. Many have managed to get them out and not put the screws back in on the back. Not doing that is a decision made during reinstall. Some don't need the screws, some do but maybe use a strap to keep it held.
