Rick, I have two turbo fan heaters in the cabin. Not concerned about the majority of the water system or engine except for the cockpit shower fitting back by the helm station. It is exposed, not protected by the heaters and has frozen and cracked before. The cost of replacement is equal to the cost of gas to drive to Pensacola and back to depressure and drain it.
In any case, the new fixture has an upgraded cover. The old one had a rubber flap which mildewed and shrank over time. It was always falling out. The new style has a nice hinged plastic cover. Will be an improvement. Dennis C.
