I am a reliability engineer.... by nature I am extremely risk averse.... its in my genes, as my Dad was the same. He told me buying quality is like buying oats for the horse, you either pay top dollar for top quality oats, or you can by oats that have already been through a horse, which you can buy much cheaper. But really, what I want to delve into is gimbling and possibly getting a two part set up, fixing the oven but gimbling the top.... as well as a general instalation chat with someone who has the experience.

Just rebuilt 2 of them from the gm series, think it was $80 for 2 seals, 2 bearings, 2 gaskets and one impeller. You can rattle can them if you like but being bronze why bother? Remember to lap the faceplate flat with some wet and dry on a sheet of glass and you might need a type of bearing puller that levers the two bearing apart Its all pretty basic

Thanks K4309.. yes, know about Advance Trident... you can guarantee they would point me in the direction of a successful installation and happy customer... if you get my drift. I have lots of experience with conventinal diesel stoves and I have a Dickenson heater on board. They do not like any inclination so not suitable for this application... and they require a large vertical flue, and take too long to heat and cool, all in all they would not suit my boat.

I think they put the decimal point in the wrong place.

I would love a Wallas stove but unfortunately haven't won lotto yet (maybe cause I don't buy tickets). They look like the ducks nuts, just not very cheap. Must be a huge benefit only carrying diesel instead of all the faffing with LPG when on extended and international cruising. Just pruchased a new gas stove in order to get my gas certificate in order to placate the insurance company. Was looking longingly at the diesel stove options. Had a good look at Wallas diesel heaters as well, ended up going for a far lower spec'ed one.
