Walt--thanks for the thorough explanation. We've finally decided to give CYOA a try and we're on their new Mahe 36 "Flyer" for 10 days in January. She has water and ice makers. Not really needed for our USVI/BVI itinerary but will be a nice amenity.
Eric,
Welcome to the family, the water maker that is in Flyer is different than the one we put in Big PaPa Lulu. It's a 12 volt unit. It makes 15 gallons an hour. It can be run while your underway using alternator power or when your running the genset from excess capacity of the battery charger.
On our boats with water makers we also install a drinking water quality filtration system, a sediment filter, carbon filter and UV light that puts pottable water at every faucet in the boat. No more bottled water. Flyer has a very comparable ice maker to Big Papa Lulu. It has a typical front load fridge and the optional front load freezer.
