Title: Superstor water heater element.
Post by: SPembleton on July 03, 2015, 05:54:19 PM
I need a new element for my Superstor SS-6M water heater.  Anyone know a good source?  I cant seem to find at WM, Defender, Hamilton

When in doubt, even for boating stuff, Google is your friend.

Some of these elements are common. If you have it removed, try taking to a Home Depot or other hardware store. You might just find a match.

Most water heater elements have the same threads.  The wattage should be stamped on the head of the old one.  Ace/Lowes/ HD are great sources without Boat prices.  Get the same wattage and the same length, good to go.  It is pretty standard, most domestic and marine water heaters have about a 12-15 year life.  May want to consider the age before you just replace the element.  If you choose the do the element anyway, when the water heater fails, remove it as a spare.
