Seaward water heaters seem popular. I have a SS 6-gallon one, and it's worked well for five years. Closed-cooled engine, too...

Re: Hot Water Transom Shower on 496MAG HO...
Here is a site, among others, that has water heaters. The one in the middle of the page (see 6th bullet description)shows an example of one that is used with electric and a coil for heating from the engine. I'm sure if you search the web, you can find one that is only used for heating from the engine and probably will be cheaper. Just as stated above, just need a tank that has a coil in it which will use the engine heat to warm the shower water in the tank. Plumbing it to the engine would be an easy job.
