    Does anyone have any experience with Mermaid air systems. I'm looking at a
    couple of their units to install in my boat. How is customer service and
    technical support? Part availability etc.

    On the actual installation. I was considering glassing in a 3/4" marine
    plywood shelf into one of the hanging locker and running the water supply
    from a thru hull about 20 feet from the unit. The outlet would be less
    than 4 feet from the unit. Would there be any problems using a thru hull
    that was once used for overboard head discharge if I clean it out?

    Revisiting wiring: I've nearly completed the rewiring and added another 30
    amp service with paneltronics distribution panel including triple main
    breakers and three sub 15 amp breakers. One factor making these breakers
    better than the alternative is how well the breaker panels were made. The
    buses are insulated and substantial. The neutral wire and hot are sized
    #8. The alternative didn't easily allow polarity checking too. This was
    far easier than I thought and one of the smoothest boat project. Thanks
    again....
