Well my Paloma hot water heater apparently froze in an early season hard freeze. After all these years of dependable service, I suspect it is not worth repairing. Is there a replacement that any of you would recommend? Please, I am not interested in rebuilding the interior of my boat. I’m hoping there is a product that can be easily retrofitted.
Thank you

Michael:
Why not purchase another Paloma? It's the simple, straight-forward, and
proven solution, all based on your experience with Paloma. Plus, there's no
interior rebuild -- just swap out one for the other, which ought to take an
hour or two, tops.

I’m surprised you haven’t had more replies. Several owners (myself included) have replaced their old Palomas with the Excel brand tankless water heater. It is pretty much a swap fit. In my case I was able to use two of the same mounting holes and the vent. I found that an 8” household heating register boot made a perfect transition from the heater to the old Paloma vent.
A search of this list for “Excel water heater” should turn up lots of results.
