aquahot is pretty simple to work on once you have the basics down.. depending on mechanical ability and tools in the drawer. If you want a good education look into the recent aquahot rebuild thread .. it will give wealth of knowledge .
Thanks I'll look for that Thread, just got to get the cover off 1st!

Try looking in this website for discontinued models, could hold the answer.

On mine it takes a very stubby or an angel Phillips screwdriver to get next to the fuel tank.  There are probably only one or two screws tightened on it.  The top just lifts up.  I will try to send you a picture how the top comes off because mine is off right now.

There's about 1 inch between the unit and my Fuel Tank? (Fuel tank is on the Left of the Aquahot) I'm kinda lost on this one, got an email to Art.

Maybe the entire unit needs to come out? If so It's not a DIY anymore...LOL

 Thanks Paul

OSIN, two screws on right hand side of unit as you are looking at it. My fuel tank is to the right of the Aquahot but should be the same layout.

I bet you can work that cover up and off.  It's surely been serviced in 17 years and they had no way to put the screws back.

YAY, Art showed me how to remove the cover, I just needed to buy a set of long needle nose vice grips to grab the screws (tight fit). Art had a good idea for the future, changing the Panhead screws to a socket head, or something that works better with limited clearance. Hopefully, I can find thumb screws in S/S, that's probably the way I'll go.  Now I just need to remove the burner assy and send it along for new bearings and whatever else I need. Thanks for all your help here.

Thanks, I must have a strange one. the HWH controllers are to the right, fuel to the left. No way could I even fit a stubby in there, I first purchased a tiny ratcheting device that holds bits, but the screws were in too tight, or no leverage, back to the store and a very long set of needle nose vice grips worked!

My guess is it is the motor making the noise. Had to replace one on the Monaco. If it is the burner bearings, the noise would be coming from the housing rubbing on the turbine.

Update, Got the unit out and it's on the way to Art. He's been awesome to speak with. Got some new Marine Fuel hose as the original lines inside the unit we're pretty hard, and I'll get a new fuel filter too. She's all cleaned up, and ready for the burner to come back!

Thanks again for your help! love this forum!
