Kudos to Scan Marine. :thup
Yes, I know there is some love/hate stuff written here about the Wallas stove/heaters. We have always been in the love column with ours. Today, Joan flipped the switch on the Wallas... and nothing. I pulled out the Wallas install/instruction books we got with the boat, but there wasn't much in the way of troubleshooting. A call to Scan Marine put me on the track and with the multimeter, we were able to QUICKLY eliminate the stove itself as the problem. Turns out one of the new batteries we installed last fall took a major and immediate dump (I had checked all three batteries on Monday).
My only other dealings with Scan Marine came about at the Bellingham gathering in 07 when there was a group effort on Warren's Wallas; I happened to be the phone guy and they again were spot on with helping solve the problem.
They didn't ask for a credit card first nor even a serial number. Bruce (the guy I spoke with) only wanted to get us functional. Pretty impressive.
Equally impressive, he knew about the change of ownership at C-Dory and said we should be in good hands.
Best wishes,
Jim B.
