About the watermaker;
One of the POs had a watermaker, unfortunately they kept it. The plumbing is still in place though. The water intake was Tee'd off of the head intake right at the through hull. The overboard discharge was sent to a through hull near the sink drain. and the product water was sent directly to the main tank. The whole system was located in the starboard bow on the bulhead opposite of the holding tank.
Hope this helps.

Tee'd off the head intake!
That is not a back-flow proof line, so not it is my first choice, although I guess - they hoped - that the water maker would remove all.amytom wrote:About the watermaker;
