I did a lot of research on this topic.
First, I wanted a high quality watermaker, based in the US, that allows you to source replacement parts anywhere.
Before we even purchased the new boat, I had it picked out.
The AC 110-220V, 40 GPH Dual Membrane watermaker with a black remote panel and standard plated pump. I picked the AC pump after talking to the Mike at Seawater Pro. He mentioned if you have a generator or inverter I would recommend you get the AC system or the 24 VDC.
The AC is easier to install, a cheaper, brush-less maintenance-free motor, you get 40 GPH instead of 17 from the 12v, and you have redundancy because you have 2 membranes, at only 970 watts. This makes it easy to run using your inverter or portable Honda EU2000 or EU2200 generator.
The same also goes for the 24-volt DC motor, you can still drive to membranes at 900 Watts making 40 gallons per hour.

First Step, find a seacock to feed raw saltwater to the unit. Our Navigator has an underwater seacock for the garbage disposal overboard. We don't need this, easy option to add a watermaker without drydocking the boat.
