I am in the process of making a hot water bypass. I don't think the WM
version will work because our boats have 15mm lines and fittings on most
commercial bypasses have female type ends, which will not mate to the 15mm fittings.
My plan is to make my own bypass using 1/2" pvc and fittings (T fittings and
shut offs), sealing the bond between the 1/2" pvc and the 15mm lines with 3M
4200. You can get 15mm fittings from WM, page 523, but they are
ridiculously expensive.
Yes the drawer unit must be removed...it's easy only six or eight screws.

We are at that point and wondering what to do next.
I see that West Marine has a by-pass kit for $30. The limited description
says that once you install it, you can simply turn it on and off in future
years - no need to remove.
I've heard a number of people say they bought the kit and did not know what
to do with it.
Questions
Have you installed the kit successfully?
If so, did you have to take the drawer frame out to install it? (seems like
the only way)
Has it worked well for you?
If not, other solutions?
We were standing on our heads last Sunday trying to see the outlets of the
water heater and the lines running from them - Bob looking through from the
galley side and me from the seacock door. We had removed the drawers and
passed the digital camera back and forth to get better angles to see what was
there.
Also, has anyone seen the movie Morning Light? If so, what did you think of
it? We are not a coastal city so may not get it. Bob is in LA this week
and might get the chance to see it there.
Thanks again for your help.
