Quick BX 40 L Water Heater – 1,200 W / 220 V

The Quick BX 40 L water heater is essential equipment for onboard comfort, providing a reliable solution for hot water access both while sailing and in harbor. Its 40-liter capacity makes it suitable for the needs of a typical crew on a mid-sized cruising sailboat. The dual heating sources—via the 1200 W / 220 V electric element and the heat exchanger connected to the engine—optimize the boat’s energy autonomy.

From an installation standpoint, the flexible mounting options (vertical or horizontal) and adjustable supports simplify integration into the often cramped technical spaces of vessels. It is critical to ensure proper connections to the freshwater circuits, electrical supply (220 V), and engine cooling system to fully utilize its capabilities. Standard 1/2-inch fittings simplify plumbing work.

This model stands out for its use of robust materials such as AISI 316L stainless steel for the tank and heat exchanger, ensuring high corrosion resistance and water potability. Argon arc welding and the integrated anode are technical details that extend the device’s lifespan in a marine environment. High-density polyurethane foam insulation enhances thermal retention, reducing energy consumption. The three-year warranty underscores the manufacturer’s commitment to product durability.

While versatile, this 40-liter water heater may be limiting for very high hot water demands or for large crews over extended periods without access to electric recharge or prolonged engine use.
