Sounds like the best option, hard to get rid of those smells otherwise. I thought we had a fan noise problem this afternoon. Turns out it was a fish farm, some of their water works sounds travel a long distance and really resonate through the hull. We're in Randalls Bay for the night after a lovely sail this arvo. There's a fish farm sitting out in the mouth of the Huon River, not far from us, that's where the occasional noise is coming from. It's ok now, but hopefully doesn't start up in the middle of the night. Partridge Island is the worst. The first time we moored there for the night we thought the boat was taking water, there was a really loud rushing water sound. I believe it's from a fresh water pipeline they have running out of Dover across the channel the farms, probably 7-8 km long. It's made that anchorage unusable for us. Sooner we kick them offshore/onshore the better I reckon, they're just turning a really special environment into an industrial estate.

Another thing I've noticed with the controller is that when I turn the heater on, once it's done it start up properly and settled down, it will return to whatever temperature it was when last turned off. So if I turn it off when on low 1.6 htz, it goes back to that.

Yes I get it with the controller. Same as mine not a bad feature. I think there's a timer to turn the heater on as well but I haven't bothered trying to translate the Chinese English interpretation with the Manuel just to hard.
The new boat has a original German made heater with what I can see a simular hot pipe run length as yours. Will be intresting to see how it performs. Also has about 6 ducts throughout including the midships head and shower.

I have seen those fish farms in tassie , the port lincoln tuna farms are mostly out in the gulf but we have growing mulloway, kingfish and salmon farms around the bays and islands and growing bigger all the time!
